Latitude D620 with Dell Wireless 1390 Minicard and Belkin Wireless G Router

Hi,

I am having a Dell Latitude D620 laptop that has a Dell Wireless 1390
minicard.
I am using a Belkin Wireless G router connected to a PPPoE broadband
internet connection. I have setup the wireless network using this
router. I am able to connect to this wireless network using the dell
wireless connection utility. The laptop also gets an IP address and the
WAN network works fine. But, there seems to be a problem with the
internet access. The internet works intermittently. Sometimes while
browsing, the pages load without a problem. But, soon they stop loading
for a while. This cycle continues to occur throughout, eventhough the wi
fi signal strength is continuously healthy. I tried my friends toshiba
laptop and there is absolutely no problems for the same setup of the
router. What could be the problem? Are any of my settings incorrect?
Please help me out.

My router important settings are as follows:

Wireless:
Wireles Mode= Mixed 11b+11g
Wireless Channel= 11
Security:
Client Type= WPA/WPA2
Authentication= PSK
Internet:
Connection Type= PPPoE
MTU= 1400
DNS= Automatic from ISP

My Laptop Card (1390 minicard) settings are as follows:

Hope this information helps.
