Brett Johnson, as per http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=6669953#N1115 an update to your BIOS is available (F.33). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

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

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  10ec:8179 [HP Pavilion 17-e171nr Notebook PC] RTL8188EE driver
  regression in 3.13.0-24.  Extremely slow network performance

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm experiencing excruciatingly slow wireless performance on upgrading
  to Trusty.  There are numerous reports of simlar symptoms on the
  forums, and the solution seems to be to download/install a newer or
  older kernel, or build a new version of the rtl8188ee driver.

  Here are some examples:
