    Ne helpful to know what router it is. If its a vm superhub, these are know for very poor wireless performance

    dead spots will be router placement or location...try another location to see if changes things, or move other devices like hardwire phone, electronics, etc

    ok, same thing, move router as far to the left or right from where it is now, even on the floor to test if it works better
