    could be a clash with another signal nearby, try going into the Routers admin panel and changing the wireless from automatic channel to manual, then experiment with different channels

    The signal may be blocked , what are your internal walls made of?
    You could try changing the wireless channel on the router.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    should be in the manual that come with the router, you normally type something like 192.168.1.1 into internet explorer

    look on the label on the router and let us know the model and we can find the manual for you

    things like microwaves in kitchens etc can disrupt wireless
