If you have to jump through hoops to restore the router, then this is a
router problem, not a modem problem. Something is not set up correctly
in the router and it is not renewing its lease properly. The router
should be set to use DHCP to automatically acquire a lease. When it is
set up properly, simply power cycling the modem should allow the router
to renew a lease automatically if the router is configured properly.
You access the router web interface via 192.168.0.1 for Linksys. DHCP
should be enabled in the setup page.
