Are you checking your signal strength.  I had a lot of problems when I 
moved the computer across the house.  When I could connect, I'd get at 
least 20% of packets dropped and anything that needed udp was useless. 
I'm going to build a directional antenna, but just added an extension to 
one antenna and repositioning it gave me about 5dB improvement, which 
would be around three times the signal strength.
