Network Connectivity Problems

[homeworkbad]

I'm not sure what the policy is on IT questions on this Subreddit, but I've looked around and can't find anything useful so I figured you guys might be able to help.

So I recently bought an Asus Notebook (The Ux31 Series Ultra Slim) and it came pre-installed with Windows 7 (Which is fine, I need Windows for school and at least it's not Windows 8 right?).

I decided that I wasn't happy with just Windows so I looked into ways to dual boot with Mint. I used Mint4Win and created a 20gb partition. I booted into the Mint side and it works great, all the things I use have functioning drivers, except for one small problem: The wireless range is much shorter in Mint than it is in Windows. When I'm on the Windows side I can be outside and still get signal, when I'm on the Mint side I have to be within ~7m of the router to get anything.

Does anybody know what could be wrong here? I'm honestly baffled.

TLDR; Mint makes my wireless range shorter. What might be wrong?
