Problems with Linksys/Dell Laptop wireless connection

I have dell inspiron laptop with a built in Intel wireless card running a wireless connection to a linksys WRT54GS v5.1

For some reason the laptop does not connect half the time. When i turn it on sometimes the connection is automatic and the signal is strong. Other times it cannot find it at all even though its feet away.

I have WEP enabled and the keys co-incide or i expect it would never connect.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be. Im lost for a solution
