Apple router problem


wirelessly posted

have 2010 version of apple extreme router. last few weeks signal has been weak @ 20 feet away. notice xbox has started drop 1 red bar randomly during online gaming. did hard reset , still have same issues. worked fine 2 years. (edit checked purchase date jan 2011) router broken? or cable connection itself? wouldn't make sense because i'm not sure why cable modem has signal strength. appreciated.
 

since working fine 2 years there 2 possibilities can think of:

1) interference
a) wireless interference wifi access point on same channel nearby. (try changing wifi frequency , see if problem persists)
b) have purchased new wireless devices? (not networking devices)
c) new microwave?

2) hardware failure
a) wifi antenna failed
