I can see that the wireless connection is appearing and dissapearing also though. This affects not only a pocket pc but a xp laptop on wireless, seems we may have a duff router.

Try turning off UPnP on the router - the Sky firmware allegedly has a bit of a bug wrt UPnP causing disconnects.
[would mean you'd have to manually set up port-forwarding though if you use e.g. Azureus etc.]
What's your noise margin like? Have you removed the ring wire? Thought about getting a filtered faceplate?
