Are you sure you don't have anything generating interference in the house? Once or twice a week, my girlfriend initiates a viscous DOS attack on our wireless network by heating up something in the microwave. The wireless phone used to cause problems as well, but I replaced that with a 5.8Ghz model and that fixed it.
