Networking problems...

Anyone any good with networks?

I've recently started to have trouble with my network. Mostly my phone losing wifi and my xbox disconnecting both rather frequently.

Just now for example I was upstairs & my phone lost wifi & xbox lost it's connection, but I've come down here & my mac is connected just fine.

My network runs from a Linksys WAG160N, through two different types of mains LAN adapters, one goes to the first floor in to a linksys switch to serve an xbox, freesat box, mac & PC. The other heads up again to my PC/Xbox through another switch. Everything running from DHCP.

I've never been all that good with networks so I never really know what to do, but would it be worth spending some time devising static IPs for everything or is there something else I can do?
