Try moving the antenna on the router, or you could try changing the channel?

ur problem is to do with an IP configuration error. What u need to do is have ur ethernet cable plugged in when u first try to connect wirelessly. The router will then give ur wireless a proper IP 192.168.0.3. If not best thing u can do is set an IP manually for ur wireless. This is not a channel issue, it's an IP range problem

Re: How to Configure your Router's Wireless Settings

I'm having similar problems where my connection trips out and the internet gateway staus clock freezes. I changed the channel to 11 in case it was out hands free BT phone but it's still happening.

Would disableing my wireless and setting up via the ethernet cable solve my problem ?
