I think I must check my observation and move my computer downstairs first and reevaluate if I can work downstairs.

One more Q.?
Have you ever taken a look at the webpage built into your router? I'm assuming you went there at least once to check your wireless security settings. Just browse that, and see if anything looks abnormal or out-of-place since the last time you were there. If you're not familiar, then this might not be a great suggestion, but if you trust yourself. (BTW, that address is usually https://192.168.1.1 on your router model.)
Sounds like this router requires a hard reset.

There is also the DD-WRT firmware for this router that may improve performance. Just type in the model number at the following page. This firmware is much improved over the original and may help your router be more stable. :)

The router is a very common one (WRT 54 G v4) and I have restarted it and checked the settings https://192.168.1.1 on the WEB. Right now the wireless network is oK and functioning well on both computers upstairs in my home office. The ferocious weather in this area (Wasington DC) has now abated considerably so it is not too uncomfortable now. I plan to move the DESKTOP downstairs again to see if it will hold the signal. Nevertheless I am attracted to pursuing actions that will assist stability.
