In terminal do

Reboot and see if it is any better

Try:

echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/wififix.conf > /dev/null

Reboot to test.

Thanks for your help. Now I get 25 Mbps. Perhaps this card is not well supported by linux systems.

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=8

That gave me 45-50 Mbps

OK, run:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/wififix.conf

Change the option line, save the new file, close gedit and reboot to test
