I just bought 2 new $20 routers from newegg because my last two were struck by lightning at the same time..

One of them sits at my dads house and the other one is at mine. I have the one at my dads house connected to the cable modem in the WAN port and I have an ethernet cable that is connected in the same router that runs underground and into my router that is connected in a LAN port. I have my router's dhcp turned off.
At first everything seemed to be running fine but i started losing the internet every 10-20 minutes.. I logged into my dads router and found that it keeps failing renew its DHCP lease and i'm figuring that is its problem.
If I went the Static route would it solve this problem or does anyone have a solution?
