Try putting one of them on a different channel. (For example move your router from channel 6 to channel 3.) Maybe there's too much noise overloading it.

is that in the router settings? like when i type in the IP address thing?

EDIT: i found it, but if i change the channel, do i have to reconnect all the devices?
