have you tried to get a new ROM and then not install any apps and try to wifi with it for a while with no extra apps installed... fresh clean slate as well...
That is strange I've never had my phone or my sister's phone ever mess with our network at all.. our router (netgear WGR614v9) handles it just fine we have 3 wifi devices on our network. we can even stream with the HTPC downstairs with not too much buffering (uses netgear wg111v3 usb adapter with extension usb cable to place higher to get better signal) and use both our droid phones and the wifi doesnt go out... it might slow down a bit from time to time but never goes fully out...

Check the firmware on your router and update if necessary. Try different security settings (WEP, WPA/WPA2, etc.).

On a side note, I am thinking seriously about getting my wife a smartphone for mother's day. Currently she's on a dumb-phone (LG Cosmos IIRC) but uses a Blackberry for work. What's a good phone that doesn't suck at battery life (one of the things I'd think she'd notice most)? 4G is not needed, and anything around $100 after upgrade discounts would be ideal.

It's not really a BIG problem though, since why would I bother using my phone to browse the internet when I'm in front of the PC?

A stupid question. How safe is it to purchase apps from your phone?

From the Amazon App store, or Google Play? Very. As safe as any other online purchase, imo. From "other" sources? Questionable. I wouldn't put my card out to some of the shadier sites because, well, they're "shadier"

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about Google Play from a scam or safety point of view. They're the core of the Android App Market, and really couldn't afford to be slack enough to let something scam by.
As a note, might not hurt to load the App Market on the phone for one simple reason: Free Stuff. Every day, they put a free app online that normally costs. I've got quite a few good apps/games from the free app of the day. Just create an account, and check it each day, just to see. Just make sure you read the reviews on the ones you don't recognize. Some of them are just crap, and not worth being free

Do you have a 1mbps, at best (and rarely at that), internet connection?

Make sure you turn off "in-app" purchases just in case.

Then I use Amok Playlist copy to send the songs+m3u to the SD card thru my card reader... this way I got my playlists synced up as well. Amok is freeware though.
