It sounds like the router either needs a firmware update or you need to get a new router.

Also, there is a program called inSSIDer that will show you details of all wireless networks around you. You can switch wireless channels if there are too many other connections on the same one, that helps with signal quality especially in a crowded area. I would try this before updating/upgrading your wireless router.
