Well thanks for all the pointers and ideas but I think I've got it "fixed"
now... I'm still not sure what caused the breakage though...

I noticed there was a new release of the UniFi software (3.2.1) and
managed
to upgrade it and then updated the firmware on the AP, now the laptop is
connecting with 802.11n again.



Super duper!
What are the actual speeds achieved with Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235
i.e. iwlwifi in N-mode?
Min&Max, Up&Down.


I downloaded a recording from my MythTV box, so plain http file transfer,
and it peaked over 5MB/s! Looking at iwconfig the max connection speed (I
assume this is aggregate) was 144.4Mbit.

Data Rate for MCS index 15 in HT20 mode[1].


I then did an scp transfer from the laptop to my desktop and it averaged
around 2.5MB/s so that's still pretty respectable for 2.4GHz wifi.

Actual speed "should" be a "little" faster, considering I've seen higher speeds in G-mode.
However.


The few limitations of the software notwithstanding, Ubiquity seems to make
decent stuff for almost consumer grade prices. I need to do some testing on
a virgin install since I don't want to mess up my working installation but
I plan on packaging the UniFi software for Fedora. Unfortunately due to it
being non-FOSS it will have to go into RPM Fusion non-free but that's
better than not being packaged at all!

Thanks,
Richard

For the same price category you can get e.g. TL-WDR4310[2] which is BTW covered[4] for free by the dd-wrt(v1.x) and OpenWRT(v1.0), has newer Atheros SoC with additional USB functionality, etc.
