Change the channel it connects with, and see if you can change the frequency too (VERY few allow you to change that). If all that fails, move the antenna around, or even move the router around the room, I'm guessing that most of that is electrical interference.

(this is assuming that it has the latest firmware, and that your wireless device at the client end has the latest drivers/upgrades)

We're just not very compatible with wireless... many wireless products skirt the network protocols a bit and deliver packets out of order; this is fine if you're downloading a file and can put everything together like a puzzle, but in a streaming environment it causes problems.

A few recommendations:

(1) Be sure you're on the latest firmware.
(2) Turn off any options on the router for "Speed Boost" as these basically compress packets together and will create quite a bit of lag and latency.
(3) I've found Netgear wireless routers to be the most reliable with SL, but again, be sure to turn off the "108 mbps speed boost" option and just run it at basic 802.11g.
