I have the same problems. I'm on a Sager laptop with an Intel 7260AC . Worked fine for months (since last September) with previous releases (had used backports and was most recently on kernel 3.11.0-20 before upgrade to 14.04).
Connection now exhibits: slowness (sporadically), drops (anwhere from 3 minutes after connecting to 2 hours after), and loss of connection after screen timeout lock and logging back in (which may just be the same problem as the time). When in the state of the connection having dropped, the listing of wireless connections available to connect to shows all of my neighbors' routers, but not mine. Disabling wireless connections and then immediately re-enabling will re- establish the connection for 2-120 minutes. I will also note that when initially connecting, I will have good signal strength indicated in the status widget (e.g. 3-4 bands) but that after some minutes it shows weaker (1-2 bands). All this without moving the physical location of the computer (distance to router). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305305 Title: 8086:08b1 [Sony VAIO SVP1321M2E] Wifi keeps dropping.
