Title:
5Ghz
So unfortunately I solved the issue by switching to an Intel 7260 card,
which has been working great using the default kernel, firmware, etc.
We can close this, and thanks to Seth for your assistance. :)
Sorry I couldn't provide any useful information for anyone else to
benefit from. :/

no difference on that particular older kernel. I'm testing 4.7.0 generic
kernel, as that just exited rc7. I have no specific reason to believe
that I will have different results with this one.

Hi Seth, for 16.04 "apt install" works on local *.deb files, invoking
dpkg ion the process. I have previously installed dozens of packages
from debs via dpkg -i, and from what I've seen there's no difference
between that and apt install on 16.04. I also confirmed that 4.7 was
installed via uname -r
I've never used apt to directly install debs so I don't know whether
that works, I use 'dpkg -i /path/to/debs'. You can check the kernel
version you're running using 'uname -a'.
There's no problem installing older kernels, and that would be another
good thing to test. Here are links for the most r
note: just to be 100% clear, I installed the new kernel via apt install
/path/to/linux-*.deb where I D/L'd the three *amd64 kernel packages,
then rebooted - I'm fairly familiar with installing a newer kernel on
Ubuntu.

Bugs,
@Seth - first off thanks for assisting here. :)
Unfortunately no improvement after installing the 4.7-rc7 kernel. Tried
the usual options in the iwlwifi.conf (11n_disable=8, bt coexistence)
but various degrees of worse performance.
Regarding older firmware - after further testing, I was incorrect
The next thing would be to test the latest upstream kernel with the
newest (-17) firmware. If that fixes the problem we can try to find the
fix and backport it to xenial, otherwise we know there's a firmware
regression that should be reported to Intel.
Please install the kernel from the link below
Sorry, actually it was iwlwifi-3160-15.ucode and then
iwlwifi-3160-14.ucode that I tried which both worked better than the
default (since it's the highest revision) which is
iwlwifi-3160-16.ucode.
@Seth - I tested that package, confirmed that version 17 got loaded, and
initially it seemed to work
You said that you removed iwlwifi-3160-16.ucode to force
iwlwifi-3160-16.ucode to be loaded, which is the same version. I assume
you meant iwlwifi-3160-13.ucode?
At any rate, there's a -17 version available now so I'd like to start
out by testing that. Please install the linux-firmware deb below,
