Also, my router is a Belkin Wireless G Version 7001 Model number f5d7230-4. It was free so its probably a really crappy one, but still...

Update your firmware, make sure you aren't on a commonly used channel. Use a WiFi stumbler to see all WiFi networks around you. If everything around you is on channel 9, then change your channel.

Just an idea as some wireless antennas are pants!!

are you on a desktop or static laptop(you don't use it around the house) ?

and if so......

are you able to run an ethernet lead instead of using wireless?

which would certainly ensure a stable connection between router and PC
