[Bug 1451246] Re: Intel 7265 Wifi instability workaround
I think this should be considered "solved." My wifi has been stable with
Wireless N on 6 months into using the device and eventually became
stable at some point with 16.04.

Title:
Intel 7265 Wifi instability workaround
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Expired
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
