Are you referring to the WAN side renewing or the client side?

You may have to check with your provider to see why its renewing so often.  I know in the past many providers oversold their connections and would set their DHCP leases to very short times so that if a system wasn't connected at the time, that address could be handed out to another machine.

I recently had this same problem, but only when running Windows (I'm on an Apple PowerMac, so I switch back and forth between running Mac OS X and Windows XP) and only during high traffic like BitTorrent downloads.  I don't know if it was simply losing the connection, or if the router was somehow resetting (I can't see the lights from where I'm sitting).  Anyway, I can't remember what led me to try this, but I unchecked the box for "Enable Auto Channel Scan" and made sure to set the channel to whatever number was currently in use (channel 9, in my case).  It's only been a couple of days, but so far the connection has been stable since then, regardless of which OS is in use and even when downloading BitTorrents at full speed.

I don't know if this helps you at all, but I figured it was possibly worth mentioning.  Couldn't hurt to try, right?  (Famous last words...)

Oh btw, my hardware version is A2 and firmware version is 1.11.  Also, I suggest keeping Visibility Status as "visible", as in my case invisibility only seemed to exacerbate the issue (or so it appeared).

See if this helps.
