It is very likely that the router is not faulty but something in your 
area is jamming the band. The frequencies used by wireless routers are 
shared with other license-free devices like wireless cameras, av links, 
'baby monitor' devices and some phones, as well as wireless routers of 
the other kind (802.11b - I assume you have 802.11g now). Those could be 
yours, or your neighbor's. Try to change the channel your router uses 
and see if that helps. From what you see on the screen I'd say it's a 
phone or a 802.11b router jamming you but you can never be sure and my 
experience with that is limited. Changing the channel should help.
