2 wireless devices (router, access point).. if both on Remote desktop pauses every few minutes..

I have a dlink N1 router.. the wireless is set to a different channel
than the other device.. it is in N mode only right now too..

I also have a dlink G700AP, access point, sitting ontop of that guy..
providing B/G access to my place..

If i sit in the other room.. i get a nice 60 mbps connection with the
N1.. while with the WAP i get about 17.8 on average..

With both devices on.. I connect to a remote desktop session, via my
N1 PC card in the laptop.. it will timeout after a few minutes.. but
spring back to life shortly.. i know this, as i'm typing away on the
remote pc and it will stop typing for about 40 seconds, every so
often..

The same thing happens if i try to connect to WAP point via the
laptops built in wireless..

However, if i turn off the wap and leave the n1 router on, using the
pc card, seems ok for the most part...

Does this sound like a conflict between the two, despite trying
different combos of different channels?  I wouldnt think it would
matter that they are in the same room either with diff. channels?

Has anyone run into this and found a fix?

I'm using this setup, because my pda phone only has a B card built in,
i dont want to slow down my N network to 14 mbps speeds when the pda
is connected etc...

Thanks

Hi
Put the second Access Point elsewhere preferably not in the same room with
the other device.
