Hmm expired again? I'm having the same issue on my Asus (same card,
firmware and rev), and searching the interwebz shows a lot of users with
the same issue.

Title:
  Intel 7265 Wifi instability workaround

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Thinkpad T450s since 5/1/2015 (though linux wants the 7265D
  ucode though). It was unstable, even when upgrading to the 4.0.1
  mainline kernel.

  Using the latest 7265 firmware improved things, but things like streams, speed tests, and youtube would tank the connection:
  retrieve the latest linux-firmware from their git:
  http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
  (git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git)

  sudo rm /lib/firmware/iwlwifi*
  sudo cp /path/to/<linux-firmware-git-folder>/iwlwifi-7265*-12.ucode /lib/firmware/.
  reboot

  WORKAROUND: Disable 802.11n:
  echo 'options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
