Also the radio frequency range of WiFi is shared with microwave ovens, baby monitors, 2.4GHz handheld phones, etc. You may have environmental issues that are messing with your WiFi.
I've got 2.4Ghz wireless phones all over the house!!! the base station is less than 10 feet from my router.
As an experiment, turn off the 2.4Ghz phones (baby monitors, microwaves, etc) and see if WiFi works. If it does start working reliably then consider: 1) changing the channel WiFi uses. That should solve the phone issue if there is one 2) moving the WiFi access point and phone base station further away from each other 3) 5.8Ghz phones?... they probably won't interfere with anything for a few months!
