Just got Asus Zenbook UX303LB-C4004H, however the wifi seems strangely weak and the connection is not stable even ~3m from router(through wall).
It is ok for web browsing but if I run any online game, I keep getting disconnected every few seconds.
Is there anything I can check to determine what is wrong? I could game with my old (15") laptop from that place just fine. Also all mobile phones does not seem to have any difficulties connecting to the wifi from this spot.
Is this model flaw(only 13") or faulty product? Does warranty usually cover this? - the wifi provably works, its just weak and not stable enough to game on.

"Wifi adapter may not be the best?"
-well, probably(It is Intel Wireless-AC 7265), I dont expect manufacturers to ship anything that does not contribute to big shiny numbers on box... but shouldnt it be a bit stronger? I mean, I m literally one floor exactly above the router. Is this common for today's laptops? Would changing the adapter help?

the onboard intel wireless adapters usually come with an antenna or a extension to boost signal. you can however try to tweak your wifi settings. follow the instructions in this site here. see if it can improve the signals you are receiving.
