Okay, so for my own education (because I'm clueless about this stuff), would interference affect the Internet connection, but not the wireless connection? Cuz the wireless signal is strong as ever ... I can access everything on our network (file server, printer, etc.) just fine ... I just can't connect to the Internet. My limited knowledge would make me think interference would get in the way of the entire wireless signal. Does interference "hog" the signal somehow, blocking what traffic flows thru the signal, making me think the Internet is down?

I recently had similar problems... turns out it was interference. I have a server in the same closet as the router. It's rarely on, but turns out that one of the heat-controlled case fans was causing the problem. Took me a little while to track down because the server being ON was fine, only when that one fan kicked in (so only when the server got some load) did it screw with the signal. If you've added anything recently take a look at it (remember stuff above and below the router as well). Also any new wireless tech in the same range might conflict (phones, transmitters, etc). Just try turning anything like that off (unplug it to be sure) and see if the problem goes away.
