Default Big Problem

Alright, there are 4 computers in my house, 2 of which using wireless and the other 2 are wired. The 2 wired computers are downstairs of my house, and the 2 wireless ones are upstairs of my house. Every one of the 4 computers works perfectly, with the exception of #4. Here is the setup.
Computer #1 = WRT150N router v1.1
Computer #2 = wired
Computer #3 = WUSB54G network adapter v4.0
Computer #4 = WET 11 wireless bridge v1.1

Computer #4 works but not consistently, it disconnects every couple of minutes, and beings how I am trying to play online games, it is simply not doable. I have tried many things and I don't know what is wrong. I've tried a belkin wireless network adapter, a linksys wireless network adapter, a SMC wireless bridge, and a NETGEAR usb network adapter, all of which either not working at all, or working worse than my WET 11. I don't know what is wrong and it really frustrates me, I have had this problem for a long time. If anyone could help me out at all, weather it's changing some settings on my WET 11 or something else, please help me out here.

You will find the problem is because the WET11 is a bridge and not an AP. A bridge always has 2 ends. Have you ever driven over a bridge that has 1 end, not a good look and often ends disastrously, as you are experiencing.

Why don't you just fit a client device (wifi card or USB device) just like computer 3
