Are you on a single floor? That's always the killer for me. I have
two layers of soundproofing between floors, and that seems to kill
wireless. My upper floor office is almost directly above the router on
the bottom floor, but I barely get signal.

I limped along with powerline ethernet for some time, but bit the bullet
and ran ethernet between the floors and put a $5 router upstairs,
configured as an access point. I'm so glad I did.
