    You could try installing a WiFi analyser app on your phone and positioning it next to your laptop to see what signal strength you are getting and also what other strong signals may be disrupting the connection.

    You may need to change the WiFi channel on your router if a neighbour is on the same one and swamping your signal with their own.
