Sounds like a router problem. Do you have a router from Comcast? If your router is from Comcast I would call them and let them know what is happening.

Also, the router is on the same band as many cordless phones which can interfere. Also someone on another board mentioned that microwave ovens can interfere, but I've never had that happen. Perhaps with an old oven where the shielding has been compromised.

I experienced the same thing a couple of years ago when I got a new wireless N router (Belkin). Poor range and periodically dropped all signal every day. I returned it (Thanks, Costco!) and got a Linksys. No problems since, and I have enough signal to allow my lanai TV to connect with Netflix with the router in the front of the house.
