Ok, based on the extremely limited amount of information you have given us, I'm going to start by asking if you are DHCP or static IP? Also how far are you from the router when you are having problems? Are you in the same room? Keep in mind that for the most part WiFi is dependent upong LoS (line of site) if you don't have line of site your signal strength will be degraded, possibly to the point of limited or no connectivity.

Possibly a lease issue. Try setting your computers to static internal ip addresses and see if the problem persists.
