Problem with Belkin Pre-N Router

[AZGamer]

At home I use a Belkin Pre-N Router, mainly because it had good reviews in several magazines. I have several laptops and several users at the house - and it seems that every two days or so it decides to just stop issuing IP's to wireless users and only allow the one computer connected to it via LAN cable to go into settings and reboot the router.

I don't see any firmware whatsoever on the Belkin site - any advice?

Go into router setup

password/submit etc
on left handside of screen - look for CONNECTION TYPE - click it.
Next screen click next
Look for IDLE TIME.
Set it HIGH.
Save Settings.

Connection type seems to only apply to WAN, and in this case I have a static IP so I don't get an idle time feature. Could it be that the DHCP is set for "Forever" per computer? Keep in mind I can always access the net from the wired pc, it's the wireless ones that have issues. I've event tried disabling WEP, but no luck.

Even if DHCP is set to forever, once that computer is off the network it will reassign it if there are no other addresses left for a new computer.
