I have had similar issues with my iPhone 4 on my Verizon fios router, though I'm not sure which brand it is or anything like that. It also seems that iDevices have more issues with wifi connections than most others. For example, I can run wifi on my laptop or macbook all day and never have a connectivity issue. This is both at work and at home. My iPhone, on the other hand, drops the connection regularly and is annoying when I'm trying to do Facetime, for example. So the frustrations you're experiencing are not happening to just you. I've tried resetting the router, resetting my network settings on the phone, all to no satisfactory solution. I've honestly given up.
