I had endless problems trying to get a stable connection to my 802.11 b/g/n router. In the end i restricted the router's behaviour to b/g only and that fixed all of the wifi issues i was having.
Very annoying since the whole point of the standard is backwards compatibility, but the official excuse is that the 'n' standard has only just be ratified and so any router older than, say, 6 months isnt actually running the official 'n' standard. Which, of course, is utter bullshit, since every other b/g mode device i own manages to connect to the router when its in b/g/n mode perfectly happily.
So, yeah, turn your router down to b/g only and see if that helps. If it does you only have to live with the knowledge that your expensive state of the art router is limited to running at the same speed as the old router you replaced with it.
