What a weekend, first I installed Ubuntu, I know not to a big feat, but the last laptop I installed it on only had 1 partition and the new one had 4. What a pain in the rump. Now to the problem, the Wifi that is installed in the laptop is a Intel 3160 and it connects but it is only getting 1mb speed on a 2.4GHz N connection. What do I need to do to get a faster speed.

It takes little effort to get WiFI running back normally in Ubuntu for some laptops. I had the same issue and did many things,
1.disable power management
2.turn off 802.11
3.disable ipv6
The link given in your comments should solve your issue. Generally Ubuntu has built in drivers for most of the hardware. But you can change the default driver
Try changing it in Settings->software and updates-> Additional Drivers
It will fetch proprietary drivers for your WiFi. Select it and check if it works
