Ubuntu – Intel Wireless Card (9260) speed limited in ubuntu 18.04

I have a dell XPS 15 (9560) and I've installed an intel wireless AC 9260 WiFi card. I'm running ubuntu 18.04 with kernel 4.17.14-041714-generic. I get very realiable wifi connections, but it's extremely slow. After some testing, I found that it won't connect at a link speed higher than 54mb/s as reported in the gnome network manager applet.

I think for some reason the card is connecting at G speeds. The strange thing is my access point is set to WiFi A/N only on the 5GHz band so it shouldn't be possible. I've tried a lot of different askubuntu answers. The access point is set to only allow AES encryption. An interesting thing is this excerpt from iw list:

...
Band 2:
    Bitrates (non-HT):
        * 6.0 Mbps
        * 9.0 Mbps
        * 12.0 Mbps
        * 18.0 Mbps
        * 24.0 Mbps
        * 36.0 Mbps
        * 48.0 Mbps
        * 54.0 Mbps
    Frequencies:
        * 5180 MHz [36] (22.0 dBm) (no IR)
        * 5200 MHz [40] (22.0 dBm) (no IR)
...

It appears Ubuntu thinks the card can only do up to 54mb/s. My Galaxy S9+ connects fine at 300mpbs+ so I don't believe it's an access point issue. Any idea how I can get a connection speed above 54mb/s? Thanks heaps!

UPDATE:

After a recent string of updates it seems to have fixed itself.
