Cordless phones in the 2.4 GHz band and other wireless networks near by can cause interference. Here is a cool little app that might help. inSSIDer Wi-Fi Scanner | MetaGeek Run this on your laptop to see how many other wifi networks are close by. Once you have it running you may see a channel that is less occupied by other networks. Then you just manually set your router to that channel. You can also play around with adjusting your antenna(s) on the router to get the best signal. This app will also show you if you are correctly setup for full N speeds. Once you find your SSID in the list check the max rate column to see if you are listed as 300(N).If your wireless N is capable of using the 5 GHz band that may also help. It's probably less occupied, at least for now. The only thing you don't want to do over wireless is update the firmware on the router.
