Linsksys WRTG45 acting up?

[udbrky]

I'm bad at networking, and worse at diagnosing when hardware is going bad.

Frequently, my connection gets weak. I cannot access websites. However, I can play poker and use AIM. Recently, about 9:30 at night, my laptop reports little to no connectivity - 11 mb/s, 5.5, down to 1, and then 0. I'm at 54 right now. My desktop (connected via cat-5) has no trouble.

Usually, I end up just unplugging my router and plugging it back in, and all works fine. But, this is happening frequently.

I'm sitting 3 feet from my router, so it's not a distance issue. Does it sound like my router is crapping out, or is it possible for another network in my apartment building to interfere (I show 5-6 available).
