W2K and D-Link DSL-G604T hangs after 5 mins no matter which adaptor I use

Using this router my PC upstairs works fine with either the D-Link
adaptor that came with the router or the cheapo unbranded one I bought
on Ebay. Downstairs my other PC works for 5 mins and then the internet
pages just stop loading even though the signal strength has not
dropped. Even if I put the router one foot from the adaptor the same
thing happens even though the adaptor software reports 100% signal
strength. When I decided to access Windows Update (using my modem
instead) I get an error that means update won't run. Any ideas?
Thanks, Lee.

Some source of 2.4 GHz interference downstairs.

do you have the manfacturer specific software installed on the faulty
client? If so try disabling windows handling of the wireless connection.
