I would say yes.

1) Try another channel on the router - if you can control that. Channels
1,6,11 are non overlapping channels.

2) See if you have a 2.4 Mhz phone and unplug the power to the phone. See
if that makes a difference.

3) IS the PC a laptop or desktop? If a loptop, try moving the laptop
around, with PCMCIA card closest to router (vs. on other side of laptop).
If a desktop card, any ability to move the PC case with card and antenna -
such as put up on a table if now on the floor



Need more info on where is the router relative to your PC.
