Are you using a WiFi signal app on your phone to check signal levels and
possible interference? (Although I heard Andoid Pie is throttling a phone's
WiFi scanning ability).
If there is interference, perhaps checking the channel used by the router and
changing it. What is the current WiFi router? Multi-path issues can create null
spots which can change subtly with different channels.
You can also get an extender, like Netgear N300. I have an older version of it
and have used it to provide ethernet access to another point in the house.
Basically I use it to connect to the main router, then use its ethernet port
for equipment. Then you can place it optimally in the room independent of the
equipment. This model has an LED indicator to help with placement. It also does
the extender function.
