Sounds like the old channel interference problem. Try a different one. If you can, have a scan about first to see what any neighbours are using and pick something well away from them.
Not channel interference afaik unless the neighbours AP has hopped channels again.

None of the other Laptops have a problem.

I did install a driver update a while back didn't solve the problem, Played with some advanced settings in DD-WRT config seemed to solve it for a while but the problems back.

Might see if there's any further driver updates.

I do have admin rights on the machine actually
