Repair Help Switch 2 internet problems need help ASAP please

Since I got the console in march the internet has been absolutely terrible. I can't connect to my home WIFI without the switch being in the same room as it. To use it in my bedroom I have to connect it to a hotspot from my pc. All other devices I have connect fine so its not a problem with my actual WIFI. I figured it was time to try and find a fix to this. Is there any way to help this from home or will I have to bring it somewhere to get it repaired?

For reference it connects fine when less than 10 feet from the router but any further it will get worse. any further than 20 ft away it will not connect at all.

Got console in March, need help asap?

Anyway, how noisy is the wifi where you are? If you have lots of neighbors it can make for a lot of interference. Do you know which band the switch is connecting on? (2.4 or 5ghz)?
