I have a home network that sounds very similer to yours and had, initially,
similer problems. I solved virtually all problems with a BEFSR41 from
Linksys. (www.linksys.com/products/group.asp?grid=5) There are other similar
products on the market but this is the one I am most familier with.
I initially bought it for the firewall it provides but I ended up letting it
handle DHCP serving as well. It has four 10/100 switched ports and does NAT
(Net Address Translation) which allows all devices on your home network to
access the internet using the one IP assigned by your ISP. I've seen the
four port one like I have for as low as $130 and single port ones for under $90.
The box was very easy to set up and has worked without fail since I
installed it about a year ago.
Anyway, hope that helps.
