Getting short random disconnects... And is there a way to extendthe time outs?

Hi. I am getting these short random disconnects with the wireless
connection for Internet. Some of the disconnections last mostly a second
to rare five seconds. I can be online for 30 minutes just fine or a few
minutes. The disconnects vary. It doesn't appear to rely on time of the
day (even when people are sleeping). I have seen these disconnections
happen during the day time and even just a few minutes ago at 3 AM PST.

It doesn't seem to matter which operating systems (Windows XP Pro SP1
and SP2, and 2000) and hardwares (Linksys, Netgear, Belkin, etc.) used.
It doesn't appear to be a distance problem (good and excellent signals)
either since it happens one floor below the WAP and a couple rooms away
on the same floor. When I am downloading, the speed is consistence.

I read the Broadband Reports' wireless forum's FAQ:
http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/11298 but IEEE 802.1x authentication
greyed out and unchecked so I assume it is disabled.

Also, is there a way to extend the time out periods from disconnections
in Windows? I would like to set the time outs to a minute during
disconnections. Trillian v3.0, games, PuTTY, etc.
