Sounds most like interference to me, Lew. The issuing of new IP addresses indicates that it's losing the connections for long enough periods for the device to look like a new one when it hooks up again.
Things like microwave ovens (and lightning storms) can do this. If the router can use multiple channels (frequencies) you might try a different one. That generally works if interference is the problem.
