"Windows was unable to connect"

Hi,

I'am having problems when connecting to my router. Some times i can connect to my router on the first attempt, but after a while it disconnects randomly and i cant connect back without trying to connect about half an hour. Its also really slow although sometimes its superfast. When i cant connect to my router i try fixing it with troubleshooter and it's not succesfull most of the time, but somehow it repairs it and it connects to internet(if i am lucky). I'am running Win7 64-bit and i have Belkin USB wireless adapter ( Belkin surf N150) When i first bought the adapter it didnt connect to internet, so i throught it is not working and i got it replaced.
I got the same problem with the second one as well, it's been a quite long time since
i had this problem and its starting to annoy me really badlly.
I just cant figure out if it is something to do with my settings/windows or my wireless adapter. I dont think theres something wrong with router because my brother connects to it without any problems.(wireless) I want to show you the troubleshooter reports as well.

Does your wifi router allow you to set the channel number it is to use?

1.if it is set to auto-change channel based on 'congestion' on the channel it is set on, try setting a channel manually, I have had problems with USB wifi sticks losing the connection , then being unable to re-connect when the router switches channel number itself.

2. If it has a fixed channel number , try changing to a different channel number , there may be interference on the channel number you are on right now.
