Have you checked your wireless settings in the router?

The default power setting is 4, you can try setting it to the highest, 10.

Also set the channel to 4,5,6,7, or 8. those have the highest output.

- open your favorite browser, and type into the address bar http://gateway.2wire.net
at the top of your screen, click on home network
on the right side of the home network screen in the lower box is wireless network edit settings. click the button
you will be asked to input your password
at the bottom of the next screen there is <wireless mode> this should be default 802.11g. if it isn't set it to that
next you will see <DTIM> should be default 1
next is <maximum connection rate> set it to the highest setting (default for 802.11g is 54 Mbps)
the last is <power setting> default is 4, set to 10
