Good place to start maybe to do a factory reset of the router, then set up
the security again etc. Has worked for me a number of times.

It could be time for a new router, I had a Linksys that refused to give out
any IP addresses despite everything I did. Bought a new one and had no
problems. You would be better off with a new one it would at least be
802.11g which should be faster.
