Your are too close to the antenna. The signal is over driving your wireless.
When a signal is over driven (too much power), the signal clips (or cuts flat) at the peak.
Move the wireless about 10 feet away.
Or better yet, If you are right next to the router, just put a cable in to connect the two.

The router is to close. I had the same problem at school. The wireless router on my desk had bad reception, but the router in the back room had good reception.

use 802.11a as it's on a 5ghz frequency compared to 2.4 like the b and g bands.
your router is most likely using all 3 for backward compatibility.
your issue is typical of any microwave, cordless or line-of-sight interference issues. possibly you have something
creating interference or attenuating the signal.
try moving your router away a little bit, if you can, elevate it above your system for improved coverage.

You may have it too close to a power cable/socket ot too close to a screen.
