Alternatively you can set your internal network to use static addresses. If you are always going to have those 4 machines and are not likely going to be adding any others, set them up for static addresses instead of DHCP.
Update the firmware of the router if it is the peripheral that cause problem
Then try to release and renew address of the internet connection.
