Signal Strength Drops Constantly From 5 Bars to 2 Bars

For whatever reason, my signal strength seems to consistently drop, but only when I'm in my basement. I have perfect signal strength when I'm upstairs. Strangely enough there never used to be a problem and it just started out of nowhere. I want my internet speed back, it's frustrating, can someone please help me!?

I have a Dell Inspiron 7377.

It depends on where the Wireless Access Point is located, and how many other A/P's are on the same channel(s) as the Access Point. Also if the power is dialed down on the Wifi, that can also cause issues.

Where would I dial the power up? I didn't even know it was possible to dial it down.

You need to answer my questions.

I wasn't aware those were phrased as questions. The access point, as I'm assuming that is where the modem is, is upstairs, not too far from my bedroom in the basement. I don't know how many A/P are on the same channel, and I checked the modem, there is nowhere to dial up or down for the power.
