You're using wireless, Right? If so, you probably have a lot of other networks in your area that are using the same channel numbers you are using. Try changing your channel number on the router. You can get a free copy of inSSider from Metageek to help you identify the best channel number to use. Alternatively, buy a Wireless card for your computer that uses the 5Ghz band that is already available on your dual band wireless router. Look for one that says it supports the 802.11 a/b/g/n standard.
