I have an HP Spectre laptop with the Intel AC7260 wireless network card. When doing speed tests the speed drops literally in half at only around 35 to 40 feet from the router on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands. I've tried very good routers, the Asus RT-AC68u and Netgear R7000 and I get the same results with both. With my MacBook Pro I get fast stable speeds more than double that distance from the router with no drop in speed. I have upgraded to the latest drivers from Intel's site but nothing helps this precipitous drop off in speed.
Is there anything I could change, a setting or something that will make an improvement? Or is the Intel AC7260 just that bad?
