Lenovo Y50-70 problem - Help needed please

Hello guys,

I'm getting desperate and I really don't know what else to do so I'm writing this to ask if any of you can solve this problem.

I just bought a Lenovo Y50-70 and it has serious wifi problems that I find totally unaceptable, this is the second unit I get since the one had the same problem and I changed it hoping that everything would get better.

The problem is the following: when I play a game I get sudden lag spikes all the time, it goes from 20 ping to 500 in a second and the connection is always going up and down which makes everything 100% unplayable (...and this is supposed to be a gaming laptop), This even happens with a game as simple as Counter-Strike 1.6, even a 10 year old cheap computer could run this game with no problem so this is really getting into me. Also I may be completly wrong but I think this gets worse as the fans start working and the PC heats up a little bit.

The network card is a Intel 3160 I already played with the advanced settings etc and nothing solved this and I don't know what to do, it is getting me crazy since I spent 1200 euros of my money on this (sorry) garbage PC.

Thank you very much for your help.
