best router to work with superhub2

I have the new superhub 2 from virgin media...it's connected to one pc. The kids have no problems with the connection to their laptops, xbox etc, however i have my own pc connecting via a netgear wg111v2 and although the connection strength is showing as good it keeps dropping off every 20 mins or so....any suggestions, is there a better router....cheers

    Use powerline homeplugs.

    What you have is a wireless dongle not a router.

    If you want to keep the PC wirelsss then download inSSIDer, and scan for conflicting wireless channels, and if needed change the wireless channel on the hub.

    Dosn't really matter, but I'd download to the PC you are having problems with, its location location location!
