Only one problem here. If the router loses the ip. Then it alone can not get out to the Internet. That problem is held with your provider if they provide the router. if not then its up to router manufacture. The lose of a ip does not have anything or ever will have anything to do with the router losing the wireless connection with the computer. Two totally different problems. The ips sent to wired and wireless computers hooked to a router come off the routers own DHCP table. Therefor the router is the provider of the ip to the computer no one else. Think I'm wrong unplug the router from your providers connection. you will not lose the connection with the router or network within.
