It could be many things including signal strength and network packet loss. Check your cabling and connections and you may want to post your signal readings/numbers. You can run a test for network packet loss per the instructions on this page...

What network are you using inside your house? Is it wireless or hardwired? From what I remember, you should have at least 100mb between your Prime and your PC/laptop. Anything less will cause problems like this.

mcewinter's suggestion is a very good one. Follow up on that and see if you can fix the issue.
