I've been having a little issue with my wireless connection on my Macbook Pro and I can't seem to figure out what the issue is. Here's the difference in overall connection quality from my phone and my laptop.

I'm running Yosemite for anyone that's wondering, but if any of you have an idea for what the problem is please let me know! Thanks.

Tether the Mac to your iPhone temporarily. You'll likely find the problem isn't the Mac but it's the service upstream from your WiFi router.
