In addition to what others have suggested regarding placement of the router, you might try changing the channel it's on (usually 6 by default) to 1 or 11. I've had occasional issues with interference from neighboring networks all being on channel 6. Or switch to the 5Ghz band if your devices support it.

It's a new airport extreme. How do you do this? I'll look when i get home but that thing doesn't have many buttons or switches
