Sometimes WiFi signals from close proximity Wifi Routers can interfere with each other. Default channels get "congested". Try changing the channel to a higher band.

This may not necessarily fix your problem but changing bands has helped my configuration in the past in dense environments and it is a low hanging fruit item.
