Ubuntu – Wifi doesn’t work on Ubuntu 14.04 anymore!

14.04firmwarenetworkingwireless

I've been struggling with my wifi for a week now. Since we changed router and provider(O2 box 6431), the connection doesn't work on Ubuntu anymore, yet it does work on windows (and also on ubuntu with other connections). The crazy thing is that it sometimes randomly works and then just stop after sleep mode and doesn't recover. One of my last attempts was to install another firmware

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source && sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

but now it fails connect to the router, while before I was connected but had internet didn't work.
I add further information here:

Please help!!

[Update] paste.ubuntu.com/9912617
dmesg | grep iwl gives no output

[Update2] I used the command echo "options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=N" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf and wifi was ok: I was on Mozilla, watched a video, did stuff and it worked. Then I didn't use my laptop for 10 minutes and now it only shows it's connected to the router, but no actual connection.
Using the command again, connection is back.

This is the result of dmesg | grep -e iwl -e wlan0 : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9921077/

I wonder if the router might be wireless n only, if so the next command and a reboot should fix echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

disable IPv6 in network manager by selecting ignore and add the terminal results for dmesg | grep iwl then add another change to the module echo "options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=N" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Reboot with ethernet cable unplugged
