You forgot to mention Xmas decorations and fish tanks.
How many PC's are you trying to connect and what O/S es are you running on them?

Are you sure its the routers at fault? Firstly , if you have'nt already done so connnect your main PC directly to your modem (use ethernet cable if possible)and reboot everything including (important)the modem, power it off then back on. Does the problem go away? if so then I would agree the chances are the problem lies with the router.
Have you tried changing the channels on the routers or are you running them on the default channels? If so then try changing channels. Are you using encryption on your network?could somebody be using your connection ? make sure your network is encrypted wpa psk enabled. If they're USB wireless adaptors your using it could be a USB Port/PC problem? try another PC.Try downloading the latest firmware and drivers. If none of that helps as has already been suggested its likely to be some sort of structural/interference issue. In which case its simple just move house.
