Sorry it took so long to respond; I was swarmed by coursework.
To Shadowjk: I do not have multiple routers nor access points in my apartment, and I am already aware of the channel interference problem, but none of the settings available to me helped (not even 'Auto'). Thank you for your help regardless.
To archer: I have updated my router firmware, as well as my network card firmware. However I seem to be having some trouble with the second one as it is apparently a WLAN + Bluetooth card, but I do not know the model numbers for each one. I would like to ask for help (from anyone, really) to find a suitable site for downloading the proper drivers, and to find the model number of the WLAN module.
Thank you, both of you for your help. Fingers crossed... I really want to solve this problem.

If you're connected to a hotspot or domain network, contact the network administrator. Otherwise: 1. Unplug or turn off the device. 2. After all the lights on the device are off, wait at least 10 seconds. 3. Turn the device back on or plug it back into the power outlet. To restart a router or access point that has a built-in battery, press and quickly release the Reset button.
