Four days ago installed Ubuntu and struggling with this issue since. Tried below from Unreliable wireless connection with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230
sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-opt.conf <<< "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1"
didnt work after reboot so reverted.
tried this too https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214075 and downloaded the firmware and followed the steps in linked answer but didnt work.
This answer "askubuntu.com/questions/768843/wifi-problem-on-ubuntu-16-04?noredirect=1&lq=1 "
advises downloading the latest upstream kernel from but I am not sure which package to download.
