I tried to boot linux-4.7.2 to try to see if I have the same problem but the
video is broken on samsung exynos (again) so I can't do anything until
the video is fixed, unless there is someway to backport 4.7.x or 4.4.x
to 4.2.2 ( anybody? ) Meanwile have you tried getting a really good wireless
link within the immediate vicinity of your wireless device? Have you tried
a different link with a completely different ap.

This is the thing: If it is true then why are there no other reports of
this behaviour. None the less I wouldn't give up, these impossible things
usually get resolved and become history as long as you stick  to it.
