I have an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 [8086:088e] (rev 24) that is connected at 300mbit/s according to iwconfig
. Using Windows 7 I get an average throughput of 11MB/s upload. On (K and X)ubuntu I only get 3 to 5 MB/s up. Connection is stable on 5GHz. I tested SCP and SMB.
Is there anyone out there who has an upload speed around 10MB/s using this card?
On 2.4GHz it shows connection dropouts when using a/n mode. However, I did not encounter this on windows (might also be I'm always on 5GHz in Windows)
Here is a bug report on the dropouts using wlan n. The bug is closed as it seems that often it is a hardware issue.
I wonder if it really is a hardware issue… Maybe I should try to get the card replaced by my notebooks manufacturer?

If it is an issue only with wireless N enabled wifi routers, this usually works
if
cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
already hasoptions iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
you will need to edit the file manually withgksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
and change it, save and reboot
