Ok ive tried everything to try and sort this problem out, ive looked in my events logger and there are no errors anymore with my DHCP, ive tried a different sockets round the house and that ended up in the same result. On my laptop i have 2 network adapters and was just wondering if they could be cancelling each other out or something.

Atheros AR5007UG Wireless Network Adapter
Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) - both up to date.

If this doesn't solve my problem then i deffinatley know its my router because it randomly drops the signal on my mums laptop as well, she uses xp and i use vista.

EDIT

Should i deselect this box:

It sounds like to me that you may have some interference with your wireless network. Do you have any cordless phones in your house? Do you know if they are 2.4Ghz?

To test this out, just unplug all of the phones and see if the connectivity improves. Make sure that they are turned off though.
