The long and the short of it is that you have a cheap piece of networking hardware with an even cheaper firmware load. Trendnet, Linksys, D-Link, all cheap with shitty firmware. On my Linksys router, the DHCP server in the original firmware would just stop working, stop giving out addresses, stop renewing existing leases. The only way to fix it was to reboot the router... until I put OpenWRT on the router. Now, same cheap hardware (WRT-54GS) that I've had for years runs like a champ.
My recommendation: buy a router that you can load DD-WRT or OpenWRT or the like on, and use that. It will give you infinitely more control and stability, and greatly extend the life and usefulness of that hardware.
