That would be a DI-604.

Does the WAP54G walk around with you? If not what are you using to do
the pinging?

Well, have you tried plugging in your computah directly into the
DI-604 router, thus bypassing the wireless link? If you get ping loss
that way, it's certainly not the wireless.

Incidentally, pinging Google isn't really a good test because the
packet loss can be due to something at your ISP. Much better is
pinging the gateway router at the ISP. Dive into the web based setup
on your DI-604 and check the status page for the IP address of the
gateway. If that has packet loss, then there's something amis with
your connection to the ISP (DSL, cable, satellite, cellular).
