[Solved] Validated on a Lenovo Thinkpad T520 using a 6205 wifi card

$ lspci | grep 6205
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor 
Peak] (rev 34)

Just add a file for iwlwifi options in /etc/modprobe.d (1 line) -
filename can be anything:

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/fred.conf 
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

Reboot after adding this file !

I prefer not to modify /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf, as this file is
owned by package kmod, and can be modified at anytime.

I tried many times, wifi connection is restored in a 1 second. wifi
connection seems much stable.

Tried on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 and Mint 18.

By the way, many posts are available on the internet about this issue,
and a lot of options are suggested. I recall that "modinfo -p" gives the
options available for a module:

$ sudo modinfo -p iwlwifi
