USB Dongles aren't the best, use a PCI Wireless card instead.

And check to see if there is any updated firmware for the said router to see if it helps to fix certain issues.

I have a D-Link too, I don't know what type tho. Have you recently plugged out any cables and put them back in ? Because the main internet cable can only be in one certain place. I think it's the fifth one... Not sure tho.

If you reconnect some cables, switch your router off for a while to flush the cache.

BTW, you can right click connection icon in systrm tray, choose Properties and press "Repair connection" button.

Wireless routers never worker perfectly for us. So we just got long wires that go from one room to another that connect the pc's to the router.
