I went to a friend's house this morning that has the same ISP as I, and a newer version of the same modem/router combo. His also has a 5GHz option. Same results. When I was about 5 feet from his router ~ 3 bars, sometimes 2. Once I hit about 10 feet ~ down to 1 bar.
I connected my PS4 to wifi for the heck of it. Full signal, 24 Mbps average on a 25 Mbps connection. The Switch sitting right next to the PS4 ~ about 10 Mbps on average. I really don't want to go through the return process, but it sounds like most people are not having an issue, and this isn't something I want to settle for. It doesn't seem to be widespread (or people aren't necessarily noticing the issue as much), but I expect a new device to work off of wifi as well as every other device in the home. Something isn't right, and given that every other device works normally at full strength, my money is on the Switch. :|
