Care to share which suggestions you've tried? 
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

Try the basics first:

   Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.

Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.

System Preferences>Network

Click the Assist Me button.

In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.
