    I am experiencing frustation with my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro.

    If I have a long conversation in Skype, more than 2 hours, the network card stops working correctly at some point. A restart is required to go back to normal :mad:

    The same thing happens if I use the Yoga 2 Pro for a long time, e.g., 12 hours.

    The network does not shut down completely, it just become unstable, impossible for Skype to keep connected (not to keep a call, just to keep connected to the server) or for Spotify to continue playing music without big interruptions. Websites load only 1 of 10 times I try.

    Is this a known issue with the wi-fi card? Or do I have a defective device? If I have a defective one, how can I make valid the warranty? I will need to use the computer for ling time before the issue reproduces.

    I have the latest driver, Kona Intel Wireless Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) version 16.5.3.6 as describe in Lenovo website: Lenovo Support - Drivers & Software (US)

    Thanks.
