I am having similar issues on 16.04. My wifi keeps dropping and I have
to select my SSID to reconnect multiple times a day. I am seeing errors
in journalctl that show a firmware error. (attahcing part of journalctl)

Title:
iwlwifi 3160 regression - wifi is unstable, bluetooth does not work
anymore
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
With the latest upgrade, the wireless card it is not working anymore
as it should.
The problems:
1. Wireless connection signal is extremely weak. Other laptop in the same
room can connect to the wireless with full signal.

is found.
I had successfully used the bluetooth on this laptop, connecting it to a
bluetooth mouse before with no problem.
