To be honest that EPC thing is a peice of junk. - you get very occasional dropouts with it. I was having a similiar issue myself although it was caused by a recent Windows update. Try going into your device manager and disabling the Microsoft Wifi miniport device but not the actual wireless card itself and see if that helps.

You don't have a broadband issue, you have a Wifi issue, or possibly it's your computer that is broken. See the thread linked by roast, or the Wireless forum.
