What model gateway/router do you have? I suggest using a tool like Wi-Fi Analyzer on a android phone and see what channels other people are using for Wi-Fi in your area. Try changing the channel on the router to one that isn't being used. For 2.4Ghz make sure to use non overlapping channels 1,6,or 11.

Most people don't realize 5ghz has half the range of 2.4, and that ALSO a number of devices use 5ghz, certain wireless kb's and mice, some home phones, BABY monitors are the worst, they are far more powerful than the router and will stomp all over it.
