Have you looked at the router's logs yet? They might shed a lot of light on this situation.

How do i check my logs and what should i be looking for? It has started slowing down to sluggish speeds or disconnecting completely more lately. Also anytime this is happening it still shows connected on my pc, ipad, etc..

type your routers internal IP in your browser (you can find this by using the command(if running windows) ipconfig and look for the gateway address field (if you are running mac run ifconfig)). Assuming this is fresh out of the box and you aren't running some really weird router you should have a HTTP login for internal traffic. Using your router's default(assuming you didn't change them) login and password for the admin account (most routers use admin/admin) you will be prompted with the admin control panel. You should be able to navigate to the log section from there.
