I have had exactly the same problem, and although I didn't suspect it, all my troubleshooting including reinstalling of drivers, trying a different USB port and changing the channel on the router failed to cure the problem, pointing to a hardware issue. Indeed, a new Wifi USB dongle proved to be the full solution. I confirmed my old dongle was faulty by plugging it into another PC. Original problem was transferred to new location, confirming donglewas bad.

A quick idea if you have not already tried it: to narrow down the problem, borrow one of your roommate's laptops and move it to where you lost your connection.
If their connection stays strong while yours drops out in the same place, the problem is more likely to be in your wireless adaptor.

I have seen issues like this before , certain chipsets/drivers of wireless cards and routers just dont like each other.
We know your wireless card works just as we know your router works. Trick is to get them to play nice together. Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy way to do this, you will have to try different driver and firmware combos until you find one that works.

One other thing you can try before messing around with drivers and firmware is changing the application you use for wireless. The default for your setup is probably Intel Proset. Try using the native Vista wireless manager and see if that does anything. to access that go to start , run , type in services.msc, scroll down to WLAN auto config. Double click on it and then click on start. If you still cant see your router, its time to start trying drivers and firmware.
