SOURCE: Poor Wireless Reception on DELL Inspiron
It is likely your wireless card reception. try an external usb wifi adapter it shouldn't be expensive.

I would get a Range Expander... it sounds like you are having problems recieving a constant signal. When you do get the range expander plug the Range Expander halfway between you upstairs computers and your downstairs where your router is at. I hope this helps!!

1. Try to raise the height of the wireless router and or put it in a window if you need the range outside.
2. Try switching the channel that you are running on as some channels work better than others.
3.Your next step would be going with a nema enclosure (water tight box) and runing the router via power over ethernet and a power over ethernet adapter for the top side (so you can power the router via ethernet cable) and from the roof or attic you should get the range that you need. Keep in mind this will void your warranty and ethernet surge suppressor would be a good idea. Don't forget the router also needs air to keep cool or it will overheat.
4 if all that fails then the next step is going with router that will accept a pigtail(an adapter that connects a wireless card to an N type connection that most wireless antennas use) and a directional wireless antenna.
good luck.
SOURCE: Belkin Router Signal Weak
Wireless configurations are tempermental over larger distances. Some routers do have the ability to increase the signal strength to over come this, but a good location is key.
The more obsticals in the way the slower the connection will become. Closed doors, being buried under books, underneath desks, can all cause the signal to come through a slower speeds to compensate.
Make sure your router is in an elevated location to help with a less blocked signal.
Are you using a Wireless-N adapter on your computer? If not, you might need an extender because Wireless-G does not have the same range as -N.
With the model number of your Belkin router I might be able to assist more.
