WIFI issues with Nougat 7.0 update

Updated to Android N 7.0 stable release on my 5X, it's pretty good so far, but the WIFI is worse! Experiencing a lot of drop offs on networks that were very stable on the last version of Marsmallow. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
 
I actually did notice this morning. I restarted the phone and it worked again. If it keeps happening, you could flash the previous radio version separately. I did that on my Nexus 5 when they screwed up the radio once or twice.
 
Read on another site - but for some reason when my wifi is slow, turning on BT makes it move fast
Yeah I saw that too and since I was having the dog slow wifi problem I tried it and it worked! I was surprised.

It seems to be an incompatiblity problem with some router's radios. I put up a second access point and my 5x connects to that without issue. The primary router's wifi is always slow, like dial up slow.

Anyway enabling Bluetooth does fix it for me.
