You said that you removed iwlwifi-3160-16.ucode to force iwlwifi-3160-16.ucode to be loaded, which is the same version. I assume you meant iwlwifi-3160-13.ucode?
At any rate, there's a -17 version available now so I'd like to start out by testing that. Please install the linux-firmware deb below, reboot, and verify that it loaded the new version (running "dmesg | grep 'iwlwifi.*firmware version'" should show that it loaded version 17.352738.0). Let me know whether or not you see problems with that version.
