  1. Bad DHCP Software ? on Why Do We Have To Restart Routers? · · Score: 1

    You should give some details on what problem you face if you don't restart your router.
    The most common problem I have experienced with routers is that they did not write a robust DHCP software and it eventually stops giving out IP addresses.
    I currently have a Linksys BFEW1154 (wireless B, so kind of old) router and sometimes I will see that it doesn't reuse a IP address and just keeps giving new ones. At one point it stops giving out IPs altogether and I have to reset it. At that point I notice I can still use the internet ok as long as I use static ip on the client. -Kawsar
