First, tks for helping.
my wifi card is Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter PCI , acess point Buffalo WCR GN
i connect to wifi from AP but it only still work normally for some minutes, after that, the wifi speed drop to only about 50-100Kbps, other laptops still normal.
i have update driver on lenovo site , atheros site but it still that.
my os is windows 8.1 pro 64bit.

I have had issues with Windows 8 Pro x64 on my X61T, so much so that after spending a week getting the OS to work properly I ended up wiping it out. My Intel card was causing repeated blue screens throughout the day.

What I would try if I were you, would be to put a live linux on a USB drive and boot from that to see if your wifi drops in speed after a while.

The second thing would be to see if there is a firmware upgrade for your card.
