Besides, the signal in my bedroom was perfect for years. This has been

Sadly this is where a cardinal rule of systems troubleshooting is
usually broken:
"Know what your system looks like when it's NOT broken"
This is a great help in finding out what broke.
Without knowing the source of the problem, or what your signal
strength used to be, makes it hard to figure out what the problem
could be.
The device doesn't have external antennas, but I don't know if it has
a preferred orientation, has it been moved or jostled?
It could just be that someone next door got a new router and stuck it
in the room next to your bedroom, and is stomping all over your
signal. KisMAC will help you find this out.
You can also use KisMAC to 'map' your signal strength around your
apartment, see if there are obvious places where the signal's getting
blocked, etc.
It could just be the router is dying, or needs resetting, or somehow
got set to a low poer mode or somethign weird like that. If all else
fails try resetting it to factory defaults and seting it all up again.
