There are several of problem source to that.
1. Defective hardware (WLAN card and/or router)
2. Bad driver
3. Bad signal quality (weak signal, channel disturbances(too many networks on the same channel), etc.)
4. Compatibility issue between router and the WLAN card/module on PC.
5. Wrong settings (power saving, etc.)
Until you locate the problem, you can not solve it.

wrong settings is e.g. the power saving mode, like the one you did already.
Since the problem is new, defective hw is still open. It does not have to be 100% dead, 30% deaad is already enough to give you big issues.
3-4 meters away with a wall in between does not guarantee strong signal.
hmm...you can try this too...install a WLAN diagnostic app on your smartphone and see how many WLAN networks are already using your currently used channel.you can then try to configure the router to use the least populated channel.
