You'll need to check the status on the connection seen on the router. Good or Poor and base your adjustments of that. Then check your devices to see how they are connected by doing some point to point connection and speed tests at various places around your home.

You can also change power settings under Advanced tab/Advaced Settings/Wireless.
I would reboot everything and test...
Good Luck.
