Intel Dual Band 3160 AC Fluctuating signal and extremely slow

Hello everyone,

 

A couple of days back I purchased the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series( Dell Inspiron 7548) laptop with the Intel (R) Dual Band Wireless AC-3160 however I have noticed that the connection to the Wi-Fi in my home when using wireless is extremely slow and the signal bar fluctuates from 1 bar to 5 and often just disconnects. The wireless adapter works fine when I am right next to the router however in my bedroom it is extremely slow even when there are a few bars of connection and I cannot connect to the internet through ethernet port as there is no port for it! . I feel that this is not a problem with the router or my Wi-Fi in my home because the laptop i used prior to buying this one worked perfectly and other laptops in the house also get full bars of connection and high speeds in my room however my laptop does not.  I have updated drivers from Intel main website to the most recently released driver,  so I am beginning to think that the wireless card may be faulty. Any help would be immensely appreciated so thank you in advance.
