Well, in that case, it's possibly
1) the router's PPPoE that doesn't work with the ISP*) (both are
likely using very similar code as they are from the same
manufacturer) or
2) your ISP's DHCP server having a very short lease time or being
bonkers in some other way. Can't you eliminate the router as a cause
by setting up a computer directly connected to the modem?
Try to get through to a real tech person, it would be most
interesting to know if the DHCP server receives requests at a fixed
interval, for example. They have all the possibilities to help you
with your problem... if they want.
There is also always the option of buying your own DSL modem, or
borrowing someone else's for a while, to eliminate one more problem.
(* I noticed it worked before, but they could have changed something
on their side
