It is a common problem with Lenovo Yoga 3 Pros, it seems like it occurs generally after ~1 year of use.
Generally it happens when you move the screen, and is linked to the Broadcom Wifi Adapter. Some people found that updating the driver (Device Manager - Network Adapters - Broadcom Wifi Adapter) helps.
In my case, updating the driver didn't help (either did a system roll back to factory settings with Windows 8.1). In my opinion it is a hardware problem, maybe linked to the display's coax cable.
Has anybody tried if opening the computer and checking the display cable (as explained here: [guide|52401]) helps?

It is not the display cable, but the wifi-antenna on the Broadcom wifi/bluetooth-adapter. It's loosening with the time and the solution in most of the cases seems to be to open the laptop and fix the antenna-cable carefully.
