I don't think your wifi problems are switch related, at least not a wide ranging issue. I think you have something else going on in your environment, settings etc.

Just took the Switch out of the dock, put it close to my laptop for comparison. I did connect in this spot, my laptop shows 4/5 bars signal strength, Switch shows zero.
Switch next to my laptop gets 8.2 mbps down/ 4.6 mbps up, Laptop gets 25 mbps down / 2.3 mbps up. Switch next to my wifi modem gets 36.5 mbps down / 8 mbps up, Laptop 47.2 mbps down/ 11 mbps up. Switch nest to to tv docked gets 4.3 mbps down / 2 mbps up, Laptop 25 mbps down / 1.3 mbps up.
Looks like Switch has a slightly better transmitter than my laptop, yet a far worse receiver. It did stay connected this time in the dock, yet for downloads put it next to the modem!

I run everything in my house on wifi.
- 4 laptops
- 1 PC
- 4 Chromecast devices
- Home Security (live view, not the monitoring itself)
- Amazon Fire TV (for 100% of my video entertainment, SlingTV, etc)
- Xbox One
- Wii U
- 2 Nintendo Switches
I do have 3 Google Wifi devices blanketing my home and a 75Gbit speed cable provider (could do 100, but have yet to see why I need to).
I have full bars anywhere in my home and at work (I take it to work sometimes). Though I haven't done any sort of testing of its speed. Maybe I'll check that out tomorrow.
So far, I haven't seen any connection issues with the Switch, granted I guess I won't really know until MK8D... though I guess I may buy some other online capable game here soon as my boys have both finished Zelda. They will likely want something else that they can spend their money on. I'm good with Zelda for some time yet.
From your laptop comparison and my own personal, 2 switch datapoint, I still think it has to be related to your environment/router/settings/etc.
