Linksys WRT310N with DD-WRT issues

ever since i moved to my new house, my wireless signal quality has gone to the shitter. the router is only about 10 feet from where i'm sitting with no wall, but in DD-WRT signal quality stays between 30%-50%. i'm only getting about 8mbit tx/rx. i've tried nearly everything...adjusting the transfer rate +/- mW, restoring defaults, etc. i'm getting really frustrated. any suggestions?

Yo Blake.. have you tried changing channels? Your neighbor's wireless equipment channel may interfere with your default wireless channel.

Interference? Try switching channels. Several household items operate at the 2.4GHz freq, make sure none of those items are in close proximity to the router.

try changing anyways, site survey will not bring up 2.4 ghz cordless phone info.

edit: you might want to reset the router if all else fails (little button in the back)
