Hp Pavillion 14 Horrible wifi connectivity after hp warranty repair

[Gpassman]

My Hp Pavillion 14 I bought almost 2 years ago had its hard disk die twice 

the first time it had happened I sent it in for repair and everything was fine

the second time it broke, as I had extended the warranty, they sent a technician down to replace my hard disk.

Everything was okay, except that I noticed my wifi connectivity was only getting 2 bars when I sat right beside the router.

the speeds were also horrible on my 200 Mbps fiber optic plan compared to the laptop before the hard disk died the second time. Why is this happening? Did I forget to install a driver or did the technician do something wrong? Please Help
