Do you tether through the router? If so, wired vs. wireless is the only difference, and you probably don't need to investigate anything else.

Is there anything electrical near the D-Link router? One of the biggest interference-causing culprits I've seen is the 12v-to-5v converter. I've encountered several teams who had succumbed to the temptation of mounting it right against the router, which turns out to be a very bad idea. Jaguars are also powerful sources of electromagnetic interference (Victors don't seem to be as much of an issue, and I've not had enough experience with Talons to be able to say one way or the other).
