How do i get my router to perform better?

I have a D-link WBR series router. I got a ps3 upstairs and it usually picks up a signal of 50-60%. One day it just dropped, so it just hovers arounnd 20-30%. I have no idea what happened, but i really want to fix it. Can anyone tell me how i could improve the routers performance?How do i get my router to perform better?
You can improve performance with this site:

http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/tem

I have used this for occasions to improve reception for customers that have their routers too far away or have interference affecting them. If you print off the windsurfer card onto card stock, and then glue tin foil on it, cut in the slots and tape it together, you would be surprised how much it will improve. Just remember to direct the parabolic antenna towards where you are. If you get stuck, you can view the systm video that shows it step by step on episode 45 at http://revision3.com/systm/surfer/.

Cool thing is they are basically free.

Try changing the channel the router is using. There are 11 channels available, and most outers are shipped form the factory set to channel 6. When you get a neighbor on the same channel, they can step all over each other.



You only need to change the channel on the router. The comp. will find it.
with my router,

i disconnect the cord connected to the wall outlet

wait around 10 seconds then connect it again.

then wait until all lights on the router are on again

i usually get my router to work better so

hopefully it works for you
