1390 WLAN card problems

I can't seem to get my 1390 WLAN card to work properly. It sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, and it's irritating. I have Windows XP SP2, and I've tried a number of things to fix it. It doesn't matter where I am in reference to the router, I still have problems. If I click a link, sometimes I have to click it again just to get it to load properly. I've tried using TCP/IP repair tools, disabling the firewall, and so on. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver.
 
I just want to go ahead and ask if it's the driver that's the problem. I understand that sometimes new drivers aren't always the best ones. I know that this card works flawlessly with Vista, however. Please help! I would very much appreciate it!

    Try changing the channel that your router uses to one of the extreme channels (1 or 11 in the U.S.).  This will minimize interference from other 2.4 Ghz devices.

    Without knowing which make and model router you have (in which case I would have to look up the users manual on the internet), I can only suggest that you log into your router's configuration page from a computer that is connected to the router by a wired ethernet connection, find the channel that your router is using and change the channel.

    It's a D-Link DL-614+. I have accessed that page before (with help from a friend) but I seemed to have lost that page in my favorites.

    I logged into it as "user" and it says that only admin can make any changes. How do I log it as an admin?

    Yep, that's the IP, lol. I remember the password. And it was a DI, not a DL, lol.
     
    Okay, so I found the channel selector. I just change it to channel 1 or 11 and then what? That's it? What do I do if it doesn't work?

    Just change the channel to 1 or 11 and save the changes.  The router shoult restart, then you can see if it fixed the problem.

    Oh, and it says only an "admin" can change settings.
     
    Edit: Sorry about the double post.

    I looked at the site on how to change the admin password, and unfortunately I can not do it because I'm not an admin. Is there any way to reset the router altogether to manually reset the password? Updating the firmware maybe?
