Am most grateful for all your thoughtful responses--and you've increased
my understanding considerably.
As for having done this offline, that's kinda how I thought it would go
and why I suggested it in my first post. Hate to aggravate people here.
Best,

If you could be sure you were setting a static IP which was *outside*
the range of addresses being handed out by the primary, that should
work, however you don't know what the primary settings are, so I guess
just experiment. Now if your daily loss of connectivity is indeed due
to a failure of the primary to renew the dhcp lease it gave to the
secondary, setting static should avoid that problem, however who knows
what other daily problems the primary router has? It could be
resetting due to power fluctuations on the same ciruit that kick on at
that time each day, or possibly some other network traffic jams it
up. If you can, try to ensure that the primary device has its latest
firmware (shouldn't be any need for custom firmware, just get the
latest from the mfg).
Well glad I could help. From the looks of this thread's activity, we
coulda done this offline, but maybe my explanations will help someone
in the archives.... death to "connection not found"!

Sweet. Can't wait to try this in the morning (when my lease expires).
