Wireless Belkin going in and out.

[Emulsion]

Ok here's the story... I bought a wired router a long time a go so I could hook up my xbox. The router i bought was a cheap linksys, that had wireless "Built in". Well, a couple of months go by and I get a mbp. I then come to find that "Built in" = crap. So I bought a new wireless router

and set it up, only to find that I'm not getting any range at all. I can sit on my couch looking at the router and the signal goes in and out constantly. It makes me mad because I can sit 10 feet away and go in and out (p.s. I just went out again, and am on the other side of the wall that my router is at.) What do you think the problem is?

p.s. - No one is on our cordless at the moment, the microwave isn't running...

Do you think it could be a neighbor's phone?

This is a picture of me sitting on the couch. You can see the router glowing in blue.

Is that it in the space between the wall and cabinet on the left? If so, that's a seriously bad place for it. Should be up on a shelf (or a wall) at least halfway up to the ceiling with some open space around it. The shelf under the clock in the pic would be great. Is it a 2.4 or 5.8 GHz wireless? (The Belkin I had previously was 2.4 only) Phones are about the only thing I've seen interfere, and only at the 2.4 range - my phones and AEBS are both 5.8, no problems.

Thanks. I'll try that and see what happens. Thanks.
