Intel Wireless 8260 issues

Hello. It seems that there is a reoccurring theme with this card with slow download speed. I just got a Zbook Studio, and am experiencing the same issues. On my home network, I an routinely getting over 100mb download on my Thinkpad T430s, Lenovo y410p, MacBook Air, 2 iphones and 1 ipad. The Zbook is barely managing 10mb, and that is in between dropping the wi fi all together. I have been on with HP tech support 4 different times, but no luck. They suggested I turn off the Bluetooth, which is fine, but I don't feel that a business class laptop in this price range should have to have work arounds to get a wi fi card to work. They also suggested just using an ethernet cable, again I feel that is not acceptable in this case. (Although with an Ethernet cabinet plugged in, the speed is great) Has there been any standard fixes for this? It seems like in most of the posts and comments, that the issue goes unsolved. I know the next question will be asking about an error report, etc, but I don't know how to get the information.Thank you.
