I just got an Acer Aspire E5-575G for College and recently I ran an update for Windows 10 and lately my download speeds using wifi are "wavy"? The internet here is excellent, and using ethernet I can get up to 13 MB/s download speeds, and using wifi I can get up to 5-6 MB/s which is very reasonable considering it is wifi but the speeds will go from say the 5 MB/s to 100KB/s then back to 5MB/s then continue to fluxuate, no matter how close or far I am from the wireless router. Do I need to reinstall wireless LAN drivers?

You can try re-installing the driver but I doubt it will help.

Speed fluctuations can be caused by many factors over which you have little or no control, especially in a college where dozens of WiFi devices are being used at the same time in close proximity. So cross-channel interference is a real possibility, and that's only one factor.
