im having the same issue with my m14 got it 3 weeks ago.... it drops connection every 15 seconds for about 1 second then comes back.... it will say in league of legends "attempting to reconnect" for a brief moment then bam lag spike ....
Same problems for about a year (almost a year after purchasing) and also the Killer network card. My connection is kind of weird. Some times it works perfectly and sometimes I have got the same lagging problem that. Keeps on going like: 5 sec. connected, 5 sec. disconnected, 5 sec. connected, 5 sec. disconnected.
From the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility:
Click Advanced > Adapter Settings > Advanced tab. Select Power Management, uncheck Default / Auto, and move the slider to Highest / Maximum Performance. Note
If the slider is already at Highest / Maximum Performance, move the slider to another setting and then back to Highest / Maximum Performance.
Set CAM using network control panel applet (NCPA)
Put the wireless adapter into continuously aware mode using the following steps:
Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click Network Connections. Right-click the wireless connection and click Properties. Click Configure. Click the Advanced tab. Select the Power Management setting, uncheck Default / Auto, and move the slider to Highest / Maximum Performance.
Have been playing with the configurations and now got it to a point where i can play for 2 hours without issues. I will keep on trying to perfect it, but your tip helped a lot.

Click Advanced > Adapter Settings > Advanced tab.
Select Power Management, uncheck Default / Auto, and move the slider to Highest / Maximum Performance.
Note
If the slider is already at Highest / Maximum Performance, move the slider to another setting and then back to Highest / Maximum Performance.
