Yea it can happen to me but ever since I got a dedicated repeater it's gone away.

They are on the lower end of Wireless Access points, as such they may not have a real solid signal booster. Unless they're set to a band other than 2.4GHz they will have issues with a multitude of other technologies interrupting their connectivity (microwaves, wireless speakers, you name it).
The first suggestion would be switching to the 802.11n/802.11ac settings with a 5.0GHz frequency. Beyond that, it could be poor manufacturing and on Belkin.

I was actually at 2 premises with these routers both of them were businesses neither router had the option for 5GHz, I can confirm that 1 of the building couldn't have much interference at all. Seperate building with only 2-3 wireless devices total and only 1 other WiFi signal within reach from a laptop.
Neither Router was near any electrical equipment that could cause the kinda issues I was seeing, that and I even unplugged most of the equipment around the router just to be double sure that wasn't the issue.
That is fairly strange. Were their channels distinct or all on the same setting (1,6,11 are optimal depending on the distance)? And do you know if the antennae are parabolic or omnidirectional?

I have one of those that I use upstairs at my parents.
It functions like a hot turd for wifi. Might be an issue with collision avoidance or just bad MIMO because of the single antenna.
Make sure the lower light (not the big blue one, that just indicates that the modem cable is connected) is solid blue when you connect a device to it. Secondarily, they might be trying to connect too many devices to a single device.
