I have read through and tried most of what I felt was pertinent to the 
situation. I will post the results when I load the results onto a device 
which I can use to transfer the information from that box to this one.
A couple things I did try on a basic level:
Re-positioned the other box in respect to the router antenna,
Uninstalled Network Manager (this seems to have helped the most)...

However, the signal still did drop, only not as soon as it used to.

I'll post as soon as I can...working 3rd shift cuts into my "putter-time".
