The other thing I would suggest is to make sure it is using wpa2 security and is on the latest firmware.

Darren,
Firmware is reported as "up to date", V1.0.2.16_1.1.130
Concerning security type: It was WPA2-only until yesterday when I switched to WPA2-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES], which seemed to help somewhat. Can't be sure though connections seem to be holding so far. I don't need super high speeds. I don't watch high definition video over the internet.
