Answer
Too many variables

There are so many different variables that can affect wireless. Building materials, orientation of the antennae, signal frequency, channel it's running on, and neighbors wireless (interference) just to name a few. The first thing I would check is if you are running the most current version of software for the device providing your wireless network.
