I got very slow wifi connection on my Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro. I am using Ubuntu 14.10 Gnome.

Because wifi is not working out of the box currently I set it up with

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe -r ideapad_laptop

as adviced in https://askubuntu.com/a/585545/381505

Normal speed from wifi network I am connected to is 70-90 Mbps. I got it on windows 8.1 as well as on other devices.

Unfortunately on ubuntu in 4/5 cases I got connection at speed 2-3 Mbps (tested with http://speedtest.net).

I tried 

 sudo iw dev wlan0 set power_save off

without success.

I checked of course (with system monitor) that there is no other transfer in background.

It looks like problem was made by 

Autosuspend for USB device BCM20702A0 [Broadcom Corp]

listed in Tunables tab in powertop. Disabling that fixed the problem.

If lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net shows an Intel wireless device, it can be sped up considerably with echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf and reboot
