Help please, my wireless net connection goes on off on off on.?

Question

Been like this for the past 5 consecutive days esp around 7-10pm. My housemate who uses her on laptop and connects to the same wireless connection does not get any interruption like I do. I see that when it disconnects and it tried to connect again it says "wireless network connection (ACCESS POINT)" but it should say 'wireless network connection (name of my router). Sometimes it does connect to my router's name then it'd change to ACCESS POINT. It's so irritating i lose my connection every 3 minutes. Does this have anything to do that I've connected to a diff wireless router connection before. I've tried the "REPAIR" button, still the same.

Thanks

Your channel may be conflicting with a nearby machine. You need to see what other channels are being used in the area. You should be using encryption for your own protection, if so you should set up a profile in the wireless connection program and only allow connections to the profiled machines.
