You are probably losing packets over the wifi link. So you can either try to reduce how many you lose by changing channels to one that has less interference, or you could try to use a more resilient browser.

There are 3 non interfering wifi channels, 1,6 and 11. If your wifi card has a site survey setting, look at what is around and set your router to one that's not used as much. You can use the channels in between, but it's best to look at what is around first.

For the browser, try using Firefox with the Fasterfox extension. This can send parallel requests to web sites so you'll improve your chances of a packet getting there.
