Has it always been that bad? On my (admittedly different) router, I get
around 25 metres through brick walls and a room with foil-lined
heat-insulation in the walls.
If the problem is not actually the router, such as proximity to
neighbours routers in an apartment block, channel congestion by other
routers, having to go through several walls, then changing your router
*may* not offer any improvement.
I'd look into your router configuration, check that the power level
isn't turned down, try another channel, and try some slight
repositioning of equipment (put the router higher, shift it around a few
inches), un-screw and re-screw any antennas (just in case there's a
grotty connection). And speaking of antennas, generally speaking they
should point upwards, like a pen aimed at the sky.
