Your issue can be either or both:
- Software Updates
- Hardware Driver updates

Also if you are using the same wireless channel which usually (6,11) in a
bust Neighbourhood area :)

If you are using both Wireless Monitoring utility from the wireless
manufacturer and WZC (Windows wireless Zero Configuration) utility to manage
your wireless connection.

If you are using the encryption in ASCII mode!

Finally, WEP is weak and can be easily and penetrated to gain access to your
wireless and shared folders
HTH.
