Hi:

The only suggestion I can offer would be to update the wifi card driver to this version if you have not done so already...

This package provides the Broadcom Wireless LAN drivers for supported notebook models running a supported operating system. Broadcom Wireless LAN drivers are required to enable the integrated Broadcom Wireless LAN adapter. 

VERSION: 7.35.351.0 REV: A PASS: 1    EFFECTIVE DATE: October 25, 2016

FIXES:
- Fixes an issue which causes a blue screen event to occur when the system is connected to a certain wireless access point.

Hi

WiFi range can be affected by the Frequency, and while I doubt it is the case, you could have switched from 2.4 to 5.0 Ghz.

2.4 is better for range, 5.0 probable speed improvement.  Sometimes you can have both.

Because you have tried drivers, you could check the band you are on.

There may be other factors...
