   Once I verified it was not the box, or something similar, I would call   
   you ISP and request service.  I do not see what could be in the box that   
   would stop the signal from 3 feet away.   
      
   When I access my router web site, there is an option to find the best   
   channel, and one to manually select the channel used by the router.   
   You may try these options.   
      
   Which brings us back to my first comment I would call my ISP and request   
   service.
