I'm using a new wireless router (TP-LINK TD-W8960N) now and everything works fine but for some reason I'm losing close to 30% of bandwidth in ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 14z n411z) when I'm connected to that router's wireless. I actually thought it was a configuration issue and tweaked almost any router setting I knew of before realizing it was actually an ubuntu-only issue. Windows gets the full speed on speedtest as well as all the androids (weirdly) and iOS devices. I'm the only one connected to said wireless and no process was using the network when I performed the tests and the results have been very consistent for days now. It's worth noting that I have largely no networking issues on this laptop so it seems there is something particular to this router's chipset that it's not sitting entirely right with ubuntu.
This is my wireless chipset:

And the kernel I'm on right now: Linux 3.13.0-107-generic x86_64
Any help would be appreciated.
