Using WiFi Explorer you can see how many WiFi AP's that are near you as well as what bands they are using. I would recommend altering your Routers AP to a band that is less used. If your Router is within 25ft were you are located with your laptop you might want to use the 5 GHz bands. It offers hight throughput but it does not offer the distance 2.4 GHz does.

Using Network Speed Status when you know the signal is OK will show you if the provider is having throughput issues. This is more helpful when you are on a wired connection (Ethernet) as you've ruled out the argument of bad WiFi signaling.
I would recommend getting both of these tools to help isolate the problem:
