I've used Ubuntu before, but I'm still very new. I just installed 16.10 on a new computer yesterday, and the Wi-Fi has been considerably slower than my Windows laptop. I put the computer together mainly to play Dota 2, and I experience decent ping but constant 5%-10% packet loss while playing. Occasionally, after the computer has been left on for a while, the Wi-Fi connection will drop completely- I can still see networks in the drop down menu, including my home network, but my computer will not reconnect without a reboot. I've looked all over for a solution, but my inexperience has prevented me from getting anything to work. My Wi-Fi card is a Ralink RT2561/RT61, here's some info

I'm at a loss, I'm very bad at this. If any additional info is needed I can provide it
