I'm not sure this is obviously the router.  Cable modem systems can be set 
up ("provisioned" is the weird word they use, I guess from telephone-speak) 
in a number of different ways.  At least in theory, the one I'm on grants a 
set-duration "lease" of an IP address.  There was briefly a time where it 
would drop every 2 hours regularly as clockwork, but that stopped fairly 
quickly and now I keep the same IP address.  I *think* the system is 
automatically renewing my lease every two hours...

As for the support, I couldn't agree more.  Once in a while you get someone 
who knows his or her stuff, but it's rare.  I've found one such guy now and 
learned a "back way" to get to him.  It makes things a lot better.
