Slow WiFi with Aspire U5-610

I have an Acer Aspire U5-610 all-in-one with Windows 8.1 64-bit installed.  It has a Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 driver version 10.0.268.  When the all-in-one is a couple feet from the wireless access point, I get great download/upload speeds.  But move it about 10 feet away and the wifi is horrible.  Wifi is via comcast, and other devices (lenovo laptop, galaxy phone) get more than double the wifi speeds that this all-in-one does.  Not relevant, but very disappointed as this expensive unit was purchased to be used in the living room but has to be relocated.  Bluetooth signal is also very weak, but I'll do a separate thread on that once the wireless issue is fixed.

 

Thanks for any and all input!
