Solve : Internet connection drops every minute or so...?

Answer» HELLO all! Hope people are enjoying their vacations

Anyways, i'm having an internet problem here that's really starting to get annoying.
My internet connection is constantly dropping. It varies a little: from every 10 seconds to maybe a few minutes. It never stays connected for very long.

I'll try to explain my full situation here.
I live outside town so there's not a huge amount of houses around me. I've got high speed internet, like 15 Mbps. A wireless N router with two laptops connected to it (each with a wireless N adapter, obviously). My router's on the main floor and I'm having problems in the TV room in the basement (where it still says the signal is very good).
I bought my LAPTOP before I went off to university, and at that point I was able to get internet down here fine. I go away for 4 months and now it's giving me all sorts of trouble. I didn't have any trouble with it at school, once again, it's just at home in this one particular room.
My parents laptop works just fine down here, it's never been a problem, and my ipod TOUCH works down here just fine as well.
Still, i figured since it's a particular room that it might be interference. So I changed the CHANNEL to try out all 11 channels and it didn't help. Then i unplugged all the phones, turned off my cell phone, turned off my ipod, and it didn't help. Anything else that might cause interference I should check for?

I wouldn't worry about it this much normally, but I'm on co-op for the next 4 months and the job I got happened to be in my hometown. Basically I'm back home for the next 4 months and I almost always use my laptop in the TV room.

So, any ideas??? It's looking like it might not actually be interference but then I have no idea what else it would be...

Anyways, thanks in advance, hopefully a few of you still check the boards during this time

Edit: OH, and I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2, 64-bit.Are you sure that you Hi-Speed connection is is good, make sure by testing it with an ethernet cable. If not it probably something wrong with your router. What type of router do you have?
