In addition, here's some info regarding interference:

Sources of interference:

Microwave ovens: Using your microwave oven near your computer, Bluetooth device, or Wi-Fi base station may cause interference.

Direct Satellite Service (DSS) RF leakage: The coax cable and connectors used with certain types of satellite dishes may cause interference. Check the cable for damage and obtain newer cables if you suspect RF leakage.

Certain external electrical sources such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power stations.

2.4 GHz or 5 GHz phones: A cordless telephone that operates in this range may cause interference with wireless devices or networks when used.

Video senders (transmitters/receivers) that operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth.

Wireless speakers that operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band.

Certain external monitors and LCD displays: Certain displays may emit harmonic interference, especially in the 2.4GHz band between channels 11 and 14. This interference may be at its worst if you have a portable computer with the lid closed and an external monitor connected to it. Try changing your access point to use 5 Ghz or a lower 2.4 GHz channel.

Any other "wireless" devices that operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth (microwaves, cameras, baby monitors, neighbors wireless devices, and so on).

Note: Some devices may not overtly state that they operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bandwidth. The operations manual should indicate the frequencies the device uses to operate. These may be referred to as "Dual Band" or "Wireless" devices.

Lastly:

How to reduce effects of interference from other wireless devices

To minimize interference between your wireless network and Bluetooth devices, try the following:

Change channels on your wireless network. For Wi-Fi base stations, reset the base station and it will attempt to use the 2.4 and 5GHz channels with the least interference when it starts up.

Connect to a 5GHz wireless network (if possible).

Minimize the number of active Bluetooth wireless devices you have connected to the computer or operating in the area.

I agree with Rick.  Some additional information is needed.  In addition to the make and model of the router, is the router provided by your internet service provider?  Also, have you taken your Inspiron out of your home to test wireless connectivity?  If you have no problems when connecting wirelessly to an 'away' hotspot... the issue is with your router and not your computer.  You should always consider sources of interference when you have connection errors.  Even if other wireless devices have no problem connecting to your home network, the interference could be effecting the N5110.
