Are the timeouts random or at regular intervals?
I'd first try turning off the UPNP on the router GUI - as you say your main wired pc "usually stays on". Then try changing the channel the wireless is being broadcast on, if thats still not solved the case it may be worthwhile trying to connect the two systems hard wired and monitoring the connection from there.

Is your son running any peer to peer or file sharing software that could be swamping/overloading the router's connection - as its only happening when his machine comes online you say.
Does it keep happening after you have rebooted the router once and until his machine is off again ?
