I have a Zenbook UX303 with an Intel 7260 AC wireless adapter. Since I got the notebook it would always have connection issues staying connected to a network. It will fequently disconnect from networks and take a few moments for the networks to show back up again on the list to change. This has happened on every access point I have connected to. I have tried everyting, it was fixed a few months ago with a driver update but it started to do it again and just keeps it up. Some days it is fine and others it just connects and disconnects often. It is rather annoying when I am working on RDP and have to keep logging back in because connection was lost. I am going to do a driver update again since one came out a few weeks ago, but anything else to try since that might work or might not.
I also had an issue where it would stay connected but go to limited connectivity and I would have to disconnect and reconnect before it would come back up again. I also get high packet loss in mumble and a few other things for receiving, transmitting is fine.
I tried changing all the power save settings on Windows 8.1 and in the drivers but nothing so far on that end. Disabled 5.0ghz since I have had issues with that before and forced it to use 2.4ghz. I even changed my router and adapter setting locally to be in the EU to gain access to a few extra channels to see if that would fix it, no luck. I am kind of running out of ideas on this and am not sure what else to look at at this point.

Edit 1: After much looking on the internet, the adapter from Intel is just pure trash, no other way to put it. It is horrible with Intel’s lack of drivers, each version from 16 on supposedly fixed it but has not. I am going to look at replacing it to see if there is another option since I cant work like this. The notebook is really solid, just this is driving me mad and makes it really difficult to work.
