Things appear somewhat better (less frequent disconnects though still
occurring) though it seems unlikely to be as a result of the BIOS update
given that the description was "Fix system boot fail issue".

The dmidecode commands return:

Title:
  [Acer Aspire S7-392] Wifi keeps dropping

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Wifi keeps disconnecting when at a distance from the router (lower
  signal strength) but stays connected fine when close to the router. In
  Windows the wifi stays connected fine at much larger distances.
