First, Did you tried a fixed IP for the Linux ?
I don't have much experience (only 2 Edimax and 2 TP-link switch
routers). The companies are Chines/Taiwanese, in the market for
at least 5 years.
I had more trouble with the Edimaxes (one died after 5 years, the
other does not fully comply with its advertised properties).
I did not have any problems with the TP-link.
On the other hand I have 3COM that had problems less than a year
after I used it. Both the 3COM and Edimax had problems with the
routing side, none with the switching.
BTW. Regarding DHCP, I moved it from the router to my Linux server
because I have more flexibility on the server.
Ehud.
