They are, in fact, very stable - D-Link uses Cisco PIX OS.  The 
powerbook is failing to renew or acquire its DHCP lease.  You need to 
open your web browser and type in http://192.168.0.1 for the web 
interface - the user is admin and no password if you haven't configured 
it before.  Review your encryption settings and routing tables.  
Usually, either using a static IP (configure a location in Network 
Prefs with a static) or making sure the encryption settings are 
compatible will "fix" it.  D-Link starts DHCP address at 192.168.0.100 
and up, so you can set static addresses below that without causing any 
problems.
