same same on lenovo thinkpad yoga. Less (maybe no) problems when turning
wifi-router to g-only mode (no n-mode).

Title:
  Power management causes Intel wifi 7260 slowness

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I get a new ThinkPad T440s with Intel 7260 ac wireless.

  The dowload speed reachs an upper limit 400 kB/s instead of the normal
  1500 kB/s I get with some other PC connected to my network. The speed
  often slows down very very low, especially when I'm far away from my
  AP.

  I use Ubuntu Trusty (Gnome) up-to-date.

  Removing N mode does not solve the issue. So I tried removing the
  wireless interface's power management in Powertop and it did solve the
  slowness issue. (iwconfig shows "Power management : off" in this case,
  obviously.)
