I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11ac wireless router at home and am only connecting at a max of speed of 72Mbps (usually closer to 11Mbps if I'm more than 20 feet away from the WAP). I have two other 802.11ac laptops at home (Samsung AB9+ and rMBP) and my two other computers are connecting up at 800Mbps+ and pulling down the same on Internet speed tests; yes, I have real GigE connectivity. Is anyone else having these problems?

It would also be worth noting specifically what problem you are having as there seems to be more than one getting conflated here. There's dropping/limited connections but also slow link speed, for example.
I have a i5 256 SP3 with poor link speed (<72mbps) to an AC router, but not the dropping / limited connection issue.
I had the original i5 128gb model and then support asked me to return it, then I got the i5 256gb model a month later I think and still has the same problem. the i7 models came later so it may have an improved setup maybe.
There is another thread compiling LOT # with Surfaces having overheating issues, Lot 1428 and 1429 seem to be popular.
The lot # is on your box.
