That's not normal. I work with D-Link routers a lot, and if you need to reconfigure IPs every time the signal drops, you should probably consider setting a static IP in your OS.
As for router recommendations, Linksys is probably the best for a home network. Belkin are better routers, as they have the greatest range and superior resistance to interference, but cost a bit more. If you wanted to go cheaper still, I'd go for D-Link.
