Does the Netgear RT314 support automatic renewal for DHCP connections?

I think the title pretty much says it all. Our cable company feels like they must change ips every hour or so it seems. So I'm looking for a router that automatically renews the connection. Thanks in advance.

All DHCP clients attempt to renew their current IP lease, but the DHCP server can be set so that leases can not be renewed.

I have a router (DLINK 701) that renewed the ip on all the clients except one. So I ended up disabling DHCP. Oddly enough it was an NT machine that couldn't keep its address. I've got linux, Win98, Win2k, and Win95 clients all on this network and it was my one NT4 box that had to crap out. I guess it goes to show, even if it supports it, that's not to say it'll always work. It SHOULD though. ;) Good luck to ya!
