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.
