Wireless signals are affected by many factors including wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc.
Just because a particular wireless router works good at one location does not guarantee that it will have similar performance in a different location due to variance in the factors listed above.
You should try to centrally locate your wireless router or gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.
The best solution would be to use a wired (Ethernet) connection between your device and the router.
If it is not feasible to run cables you have other options such as powerline network adapters You plug one in by the router and one in the room where you need access and connect them to the devices with standard Ethernet patch cables. http://isp1.us/reviews/netgear-xavb2101-powerline-...
The network signals are transmitted over your existing home electrical wiring which will not be affected by wireless interference.
However, if you need the wireless mobility there are various other ways to extend a Internet connection to areas with a weak wireless signal.
Devices such as wireless extenders that can expand your wireless range if need be. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YAYM06/ref=as...
The wireless range extender receives weak wireless signals and repeats them to extend the signal range to greater distances. Some models include 4 Ethernet ports in addition to the wireless radio.
Good Luck...

Buy an Extender which will amplify your signal. Or try a wired/wireless powerline device.
