Cause for low signal or no signal in the same room?

Have a Dlink DI-624(I think) G router and a Dlink G wireless PCI adapter. They are both in the same room about 10ft from each other. What would cause me to get signal drops(lose the internet) and low signals? It does get good signals some of the time.
 
Sounds like interference. Wireless phones, Bluetooth, microwave ovens .... there are a lot of possible sources.

It's possible to have excellent signal strength and still have a poor signal (signal quality) due to interference or multipath. You could also be experiencing a "null" in the signal; try moving the AP or system an inch or two in different directions and see if the situation changes.

Stick with channel numbers 1, 6, or 11 to minimize your chances of picking up interference.

It might be worthwhile to run Netstumbler (it's free) to see what part of the spectrum is the cleanest for your location.

Good Luck
