    If the problem is with your router, there would be little point to replacing the wireless card.

    That is a good point. @tweake628 needs to start by checking how different notebook works in the same conditions - preferably a different one as some notebooks have sub-optimal antenna placement so neither outer not the card are to blame for bad reception.
