this is actually a blessing in disguise, the black Friday deals on Amazon are absolutely fantastic and now is the perfect time for you to buy a proper router so you don't keep having these problems. It might not be the biggest problem in the world but it is annoying enough that you have a) noticed it and b) taken the time to write on the forum. Don't waste anymore time on it (or on the phone to India) and fix it once and for all.
If in doubt have a quick scan through this
thread.
