Wifi works great in Windows, horrible in Lubuntu

Resolved

I'm using Windows 7 pro 64bit and Lubuntu 15.04 64bit with an Intel pcie wifi card. Nothing has changed (except maybe software updates) from before the problem and after (it started a few weeks ago), but it has slowly gotten worse.

Kernel: 3.13.0-39-generic

wifi: Intel 7260 AC

How can I track down the issue?

EDIT: Well, I've gone and broke it, so I'm marking this as solved because there's no "I made it worse" flair.

Update your kernel to something recent. You're on a desktop, so 4.1 or 4.2 are okay.

From what I read on a bug tracker, 3.16 seems to have some Intel fixes, so just get latest.

You'll need to provide more information for anyone to help. What is the exact card you're using? What kernel are you on currently? What specifically has changed?

The only changes have been regular security and software updates over the last few weeks. No new programs, no hardware changes.

As has been mentioned, I'd first try a newer kernel. Something around 4.2 should be fine. See if that fixes it. Alternatively, you can use the driver from here with your current kernel and see if it will work.
