I have the same problem with the network drop and horrible speed with my Lenovo Y50. Before I used to enjoy 5GHz and high speed, but now the ping is skyrocketing once or twice a minute, and 2,4Ghz network is 1/3 of the speed I get with 5Ghz, but it's doesn't drop the network that often.
I'm totally ****** on Intel for this network card, because it's horrible and all the drivers they put in doesn't seem to help at all. I try to contact both Lenovo and my webshop for advise, but nobody bothers to answer me. Nice to see that I'm not the only one with this network card and this issue tho.. I would like to demand Intel to give me a new and DIFFERENT network card so I can enjoy my PC in peace.
My test are pretty simple:
connect wireless to the router, start command line i windows and start pinging a website. In my case, it's ping vg.no -t . Suddenly I will see the the number go from 35ms to 2-300ms for the next 3 or 4 pings, then back to 35ms. This is a brutal lag in the games I play, and very annoying. This happen both for 2,4Ghz and 5,2Ghz networks.
Not all 7260s are problematic. Mine sure works PERFECTLY FAST AND STABLE AND NO PING MASSIVE SPIKES. Pinging google.com 500 times doesn't result to ping spikes to over 50 ms. My connection never drops as well. I'm running the latest 17.12 drivers and all is perfect. I blame it not on Intel but on the congested radio environment. My environment is reasonably occupied with seven 2.4 GHz radios and two 5 Ghz radios including mine:
