Do you have any other devices in your house which might operate on a similar wireless frequency such as a digisender which transmits a tv signal from one box to another?

I had a similar issue which I resolved by changing the switch settings on the digisender & receiver.

Sometimes if you live in an area where there a other wireless networks, it is possible to be "knocked off" by signals from other routers, or indeed any other electronic equipment that may be disrupting the signal from the router. Other times the router is supporting all the standards of WIFI like the B,G and N. If one or more of these are not needed it is suggested to switch them off.

A few things to try

1) change the "channel" your router is broadcasting on

2) change the network type settings if you network card supports only the B, G, or N standard its a good thing to make sure the router is only configured to use that standard.

3)some network cards have a very low broadcast signal. In some cases you can configure your network card to "boost" the signal. This setting is usually found under the "network driver" information.

Hope you get it working.
