Netgear WGr614 v6 Wireless Help Please

Hi, Recently ive been having a lot of problems with my wireless internet connection, i'm not great with computers but managed to set it up a while ago. Basically we have a pc downstairs with modem and wireless router, while upstairs i have my laptop and xbox 360 with wireless adapter for xbox live. The internet is working fine on the pc but on the laptop and xbox it is either very hard to pick up the connection or when it does its very slow or cuts off completely. This has just suddenly started happening out of the blue as i had not changed any settings or messed with the connection. Going mad without xbox live. Any help would be much appreciated.

Perhaps other wifi routers are sprouting up in nearby houses on the same channel. What security are you using as perhaps someone else is using your connection.

WAP??

If you mean WEP, then you basically do not have security.
Ensure you use WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
