There are many interoperability problems with old 11n APs that either
support a draft version of the specs or simply have bugs in their
implementations of the 11n specs.  When we detect these problems, we
disable 11n rates, so connectivity will be slower, but it will at least
remain connected.  This seems to be the case with your AP. :(

I hope it improves.  If not, we should debug it further.  It's a good
thing not to use WEP and TKIP anyway, because they're not very secure
anyway.

Okay, so we don't have enough information on this.  It doesn't matter. 
What is the NIC on your old T440s?
