Computer? Laptop or desktop? Are your internet adapter drivers up to date?

 

TV/bluray player/consol: try connecting it via ethernet cable

No about 2-3 feet above the router

Is there a ceiling in the way, or is the router right under your tv?

Try doing a speed test off your phone or laptop or whatever with the same general distance from your router
