A properly configured wired network will typically function without issues unless a piece of hardware fails. But wireless, particularly G, is susceptible to all kinds of interference as noted by others. It's one reason why I avoid wireless whenever possible and, when I can't, will often use a separate wireless N router as a bridge instead of using the wireless G in the SB (plug the SB into the bridge with an ethernet cable, bridge connects to main wifi router).
But I've seen all kinds of bad networking practices. Poorly configured DHCP can cause lots of problems (scope too small, lease too long, static IPs assigned but not excluded from the scope). You may want to take some time and document your network configuration in some detail if you haven't already. If you would like a template, I can give you a fill in the blank of what you should know about your network. Sometimes going through the exercise will reveal a conflict or misconfiguration that will explain the anomalous behavior.
