Barring environmental problems (Hey! Why are you shoving those
I-beams into your closet??):

My mom suffered through a wireless PCI card and a USB
wireless device that (on a Win98se machine, mind you) simply
could not maintain a connection to my router because it depended
so much on the 'puter to do the work.

Check the CPU and memory utilization with and without the device.
If you see a significant spike in either, trade in the device for
wired NIC and a wireless access point. With my set-up, my mom's
PC is happier, and I don't spend hours rebooting and re-entering
security keys until something decides to work.

I had this problem and found my wireless home theatre was causing the
problem. So any other wireless product such as phones home theatre etc
opertating around the 2.4ghz band will cause unstable operation
