What's wrong with my wireless internet connection?

It works fine for 10 minutes, then stops working for a minute...and it keeps happening over and over again.

I got my new laptop last night, and the internet was fine yesterday.
Any ideas on why my connection is so unstable?

Thanks.

Walls can cause a weakness in the signal but i dont see that being the problem. Was your router and (or) reciever cheap? And does either one (Receiver & Router) over heat atall?
 
Scan for other wireless signals. Set your signal to a channel that's not being used/picked up by another router. This is a common problem for apartments with multiple Wi-Fi's because the signals are on the same channel and your receiver can go crazy. Furthermore, uninstall your receiver software and re-install it.. Sometimes my Netgear software for my WN111v2 occasionally screws up..I recommend using Windows to configure your wireless connection anyway. Lastly, check the encryption you are using.. Make sure you have the necessary passcodes..etc.
