Gnarlodius:
Thanks for the offer of a helping hand.
I've tried moving the router around to no avail.
As a testament to high geekiness, I even had my router 6 ft high high on a
ceremonial pedestal in the center of the room.
I've tried turning off cell phones and cordless phones again with no effects
on the performance
Heres the results from pinging the router:
