If it is slow then you will have contact your ISP and have them run a test on your line while you are talking to them . If it is slow then your router can only deliver what the connection will give it to send to your wifi network . Remember your wifi is not the same speed as if you were connected by Ethernet cable it is a lot slower
Resetting the TCP/IP stack usually fixes the problem. (It's certainly worked for me on several occasions):

An alternative is to consider using a Usb based wireless adapter costing a few pounds that may have a greater range and possibly more robust drivers, For example, see the following item (costs 2.99 delivered and there are other types to chose from around same price on ebay if you do a search):-
