Could be a neighbor with a new wireless router, baby monitor, or a teenager always on the 2.4GHz cordless phone. If its a new router it could be on the same channel as yours. Try changing your channels.

At first, I thought it was a problem with my powerbook, which always has crummy reception, but my wife's much trustier powerbook has had a big degeneration in reception, also. The router wasn't moved, and no new equipment was placed near it. The weakness started before the storms this week, but it seems that the problem has been worse since the storms. The router is hooked to a UPS which lost its juice overnight, but which shouldn't have had some sort of low voltage problem. Whatever. I have a hard time believing that a router can wear out, but can they suddenly lose range? I would think that they'd either work or not, but not move to some in-between state. Please enlighten me.
