Have a Lenovo Yoga with Intel wireless N7260. Periodically, the wireless speed will slow to a crawl, generally cured by a reboot or by disabling and then enabling the wireless card. Apparently this is a common problem with these cards? Is there anything that can be done to avoid this? Thanks! ...Steve

The only solution for those with Intel 7260 AC is to use a Wireless AC router. The Windows 8/8.1 16.6.0.8 drivers perform the best on the AC connection
The solution for those with the 7260N is to turn off any power saving feature like in this tutorial by Lenovo: Wireless / WIFI network disconnect frequently
If that doesn't work, then disable HT mode on the advanced settings.
If disabling HT mode and disabling power saving don't work, The last resort is to wipe out and reformat the hard drive and clean install Windows 7 SP1 with all of the Windows Updates. Then use the Proset driver 16.1.5.2
The occurrence of slow down and or disconnect will be reduced to once a month or even cease to exist.
Here's a screenshot of my Intel 7260 N performing great with Windows 7 and 16.1.5.2 drivers: I've never been disconnected nor had speed drops with over 7 GB of data transferred for about a week now. It's been rock solid for 15 hours as of this writing.
