My wife's laptop has suffered intermittent WiFi disconnects ever since we moved. She hates to "bother me" with problems until she gets RIP roaring mad. While trying to figure out the problem, I noticed the Broadcom AC drivers were out of date. Since we use ac band with the new router, I think I found it. To be sure I wrote a batch file that pings google.com, verifies that the ERRORLEVEL is 0 and loops. If ERRORLEVEL is >0 (meaning the WiFi is now disconnected) it stops with a Fail message. I will run it all night.
The intermittent disconnect is gone and the highest data rate is now reporting 60MB/sec. instead of the promised 50.
