Got it figured out. Simple oversight.

Try the second floor. A friend has two hardcore gamers under the roof and doesn't want them underfoot. He banished them to two upstairs rooms w/ the router in the same place it's been for nearly a decade. They haven't complained.
His Dad is a ham. When he got sick he moved in radios and all. No problems, the guy was directly above the router.
Try flying lead to any decent ground point on the frame, like some flat braid, solid wire, anything, just short as possible.
I'd go with proximity just from experience. In my pirating days, cassette decks could sit directly under the antenna with no problems. If you tried it with a CD player or an early version of a digital recorder you could kiss them goodnight inside of 30 seconds. Older digital recording devices didn't like RF.
