    Are you using Cable or DSL for your ISP? If you are using DSl is it using the PPPoE standard?

    Do you have a cordless phone running at 2.4 nearby? If so, change to a 5.8 cordless or move the phone further away. I was always getting bumped too and was tired of moving the phone so bought a 5.8 and now...no problem with phone beside me...have D-Link router
