Default Connection issues

Help(please),
My pc doesn't always connect to the net, thought it was the shonky thomson router, but discovered if I do a restart, leaving router on it always work straight off 2nd start.
It's like it's not "catching" first time, done all the usual check settings, defrag, disc lean, history wipe etc, gets a lot faster after this, it's a very old pc of 2.6ghz(?) or whatever it is a AMD athlon if that helps, about 8-10 years old, do they wear at all ?, can't see it but don't know if they suffer issues with newer stuff like routers etc working in harmony.
I find it quick once it's connected, my bro has a "dual core", think that's like 2 chips ? so better but think that's fairly std these days, would there be a advantage in a upgrade ?
AS you see confused I am, any advice would be most welcome, thanks
