Hi,
I would start with taking your computer to where your wireless router 
(or ap for that matter) is located. Within 1 m  or so of distance, 
does the problem persist?

If not, then you probably need a better antenna and/or try different 
antenna positions.

If yes, look into "other wifi networks around". If there are any, what 
channels do they use? The general rule with 2.4ghz wifi (as is usual) 
is, iirc, is that you should use a channel a least 4 nummerary 
channels away from the next strongest wifi network. Possibly you can 
get your wifi neighbour(s) to change their respective channel 
settings, if this is your problem.


For another check, preferably, you should use your very own problem 
setting, maybe with windows via dualboot. This is because different 
adaptors behave differently on Windows or Linux and "in between". ;-))

Kind regards
