Simon Naunton, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and-
netbooks/300-Series/300-15isk?linkTrack=Homepage:Body_Search%20Products
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (29).
If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  rtl8821ae has no connectivity in 5GHz networks

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Seems to be the same as
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1528005/

  Lenovo Ideapad 300 (80Q7008EAU - 15.6" i5 8Gb 1TB) on fresh install of
  amd64 Wily/15.10. Wifi worked ok under Windows 10 home that came with
  it.

  rtl8821ae driver loaded. Connected to AP fine. Got IP address, GW, DNS
  etc correctly, but no traffic.

  Workaround worked fine:
  git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
  cd rtlwifi_new
  sudo make install
  sudo restart now

  FWIW, proper 802.11ac speeds copying large files.

  Same problem after apt-get upgrade installed linux-
  image-4.2.0-25-generic. make installed the above driver again and all
  good.
