Actually it makes me wonder about the wireless router, the common point as you expressed it the once the EEEPC connect the troubled one connects on the next attempt. (I've got the first part going on here with a Vista based laptop, but I haven't found any if this connects then it connects situations.)
This is a bit late because I was away for a while, but I thought I should post the conclusion. There was indeed something with the router. In another couple of weeks it started dropping DSL connections frequently enough to cause major inconvenience. Hence the DSL company replaced it. I haven't had any problems with the new connection yet, so it looks like the problem is solved for me.
