Think the lease may have been a false lead.. Latest loss of connectivity was
while within the first twelve hours of a twenty-four hour lease.. so there
wouldn't even have been any attempt to renew it at that point.

I'll try setting the DNS values in my TCP/IP config - currently set to
automatic - and see what effect that has.

you should double check the vendor website to make sure that the
firmware you list against the latest. DHCP reservation - always
given the same IP - is the one you should use (but it still won't be
infinite so set the lease time to the longest one possible).

the other thing is that the router may have stopped proxying DNS
requests. find out the DNS servers used by your ISP (they ay appear
on the router config pages) and enter them in the computer TCP/IP
config as static DNS servers.
