As for the losing connection... it really depends on where your PCs are in relation to walls, metal objects etc etc, you probably know that too. I found the signal was better if I got an antenna on a cable for my PC and moved it away from all the "spaghetti" at the back.
Agree with the setup stuff though, there's a very good easy install thing which picks up the settings from your PC and copies them over to the router, it's good as an initial setup but as with all models the security isn't by default turned on. That's easy to set up too though.

I have an external Belkin Antenna (on a cable), it sits at the top of the stairs, the router sits at the bottom, no walls in the way. I might try the new Pre-n router, see if that's any better

Bizarre. Try siting the router as high as you can, does that help?
