WiFi Issues with Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174?

Hey guys, so I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop (MSI gt72 dominator...)

I love it, and I finally got pretty much everything working, but I'm having one very frustrating issue. Wifi works just fine, but my connection to the internet will stop working a few times an hour. I'll remain connected to a WiFi network, good signal, but the internet will just stop working. I then disconnect and reconnect and it works again. This makes gaming and other things a real pain. Is there a wireless driver I should install that's more reliable than whatever one I'm using now? Also, I've noticed a general slowdown in speed. I used to get around 60 Mb/s, now I'm at around 8 Mb/s.

My Wireless Card:
Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 20)
