A while back I posted about some slow speeds I was getting from my Internet connection, and one of the things I learned was that I had a really outdated router and needed to upgrade. After some research, I ended up with the Asus RT-N66U. It's worked great for the past few months, however I'm finding recently that I'm losing reception in some rooms of the house (2600sq ft). While I am connected to the router (and henceforth my internet connection), I sometimes need to "turn off and on" my wifi on a device (iPad 2) to get it to connect and allow me to browse.
I've also got a home media PC that streams to iPads, Apple TV's, etc throughout the house. SD connect streams perfectly, HD content will sometimes work, and sometimes stutter. The PC is connected to the router directly with an ethernet cable, all other devices are wifi (however HD works pefectly on the AppleTV / iPad when I stream from youtube/Itunes trailers/etc.
Is there anything I can do on the router side of the equation to help with the performance issues? Upgrading my 2 year old media PC is out of the question (from a budget perspective it's tight right now as the wife is on mat leave with a little one at home so this isn't a top priority for her) but it's never been an issue on performance in the past.
All suggestions are welcome

Thanks!
