Hello guys
I have HP Envy 15 2014 version with Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160
my problem is the Wifi signal is unstable and very weak
it drops from 4-5 signal bars to only 1 bar, more like "spikes"
i am 2 meters away from the router and i am getting full signal bars on all my smart phones, laptops in same place
i change to the latest drivers but it didn't fix
changed wifi channel and it did increase the signal on my other devices except this laptop
what can i do?

Is U-APSD disabled in the AC-3160 Advanced Settings?
If not disable it.
Disable the wireless card's power management to "turn off to save power"
Is the router set to WPA2 AES Only?
Is the notebook power option on High Performance? -
2- disabled
3- TKIP + AES
4- balanced
Didn't fix my problemLast edited: Jun 28, 2015 -
Maybe the antenna connector is loose? Might be worth opening it up to check.

The AC-3160 performs at a theoretical link speed of 433Mbps on the 5ghz band.The AC-7260/7265 perform at 866.7Mbps.
TKIP + AES....To get full AC speed you need WPA2 AES "ONLY"
Having TKIP limits the link speed to 54Mbps or less.
Notebook power management should be High Performance when using the ac power adapter.On battery you can use balanced.iAhmed-07 likes this. -

I am getting this problem again but now i am sure it's not the antenna
the wifi signal is not stable, laptop is not moving neither the router which is less than half meter away with no walls or anything like that

Well to you can update the driver to begin with. It may help, it may not but it's certainly an old one so it's worth trying.

it's more stable but lower strengh, mostly -70 dBmLast edited: Jul 19, 2015 -
I found out the problem, it was the antenna cable stuck under a screw, really lucky it isn't damaged.
now i am getting -30 dBm and it detects more than 25 Wifi connections in my areaLast edited: Jul 19, 2015[dr0] likes this.
