Sounds like your old router did MAC->IP address reservations, and the
new one doesn't do it quite the same way.

Look for a "DHCP renewal interval" or "Lease time" and try to set it
to infinity or at least a very long time. My SMC can be set to retain
DHCP leases indefinitely -> clients always get the same IP back

Simplest: configure each client with a fixed address, if you want it
to have one. You do this on the CLIENT side, ie in the network config
of the client.
