Having an issue with some wireless stuff here.

Nothing changed - not sure when the issue cropped up - noticed it the other day.

My wireless signal bottoms out one bar, browser gets real slow. I can be in the same room, less then 10 feet from the router and it does this.

I had a Buffalo router with DD-WRT on it. I tried changing the channel on the router and it made no difference. I figured perhaps my Buffalo router was flaking out and went out and ended up picking up a Belkin N+ router (was reading reviews on my choices at da'mart - the Belkin seemed to have decent reviews even though i'm not familar with their stuff).

Brought it home - set it up. Connected macbook, mac mini, ps3, wii. Everything works great. iPhones - same thing. Will have full service then bam 1 bar in the wireless - slow. Then all of sudden full again, then repeat. In the mean time my MacBook is fine.

I have two iPhones here and it does it on both. WPA encryption - I don't remember the last update I do but I sync to my mini nightly and update whenever it prompts. Anyone else having issues? Or had these issues and have any suggestions? I'm beyond frustrated.
 
Disabled Wireless N and it appears better right now..

Edit : I lied.
