I bought a brand new Lenovo Y50 yesterday with the network card Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160. The moment I tried connecting to the internet from my room I noticed something was wrong. At first I wasn't even able to locate any networks from where I was sitting, after a few minutes of shuffling the computer around my desk, I found my network at 3 bars, along with my neighbours network at 2 bars. I tried to connect, and 4/5 times it failed to connect. On the fifth try it connected, and when I checked the speed it was 10% of what I got on my 8 year old Sony Vaio (1down/0.1 up from 10down/1up). I then went downstairs and sat down right beside my router, and from there I achieved the full capabilities of my internet. I have my drivers up to date (17.16.0.4) for Windows 8.1 64bit, and the driver on my router is updated as well.
I googled some things and found out that so far we know that the card is in someway deffective, and there is no clear cut fix even after half a year of troubleshooting and complaining by the community. I came here to ask if we've made any progress and found a way to fix my connection problems?
