hi, the right card should be .ac, not .n. the common ones are intel ac 3160 (433mbps) intel ac 7260 (300/867mbps), intel ac 7265 (normally ngff form, not compatible; 867mbps), broadcom bcm4352, and killer 1525.
you might need to adjust some advanced settings of the wifi card in device manager to make it run at better speed. i did that to my broadcom card previously as the defaults ran at poor speed with an .ac router. i am not sure what should be done sorry.
as for the bluetooth part, you can try to disable its power management in device manager and see if it helps. do the same to the wifi also.

Hey hows it going, So my first question is why did you choose the Intel 6235 card? Im not sure the differences between the Intel 7260ac
I checked it out here and many opted for the 7260 I just recently did the swap and couldnt get BT working for the life of me!
With some research i found many said to put tape over the #51 Pin on the card. Im sure the 6235 and 7260 arent very different at all.
So i followed the advice and cut a thin strip of electrical tape to cover it ( i read someone used scotch tape) and upon next boot poof BT was available in the system tray
The #51 Pin is the furthest right pin on the label side.
Picture is not my own! (If its yours I'll credit you for it)
Ignore all the other stuff just reference this for a visual of the #51 pin

Cheers, will order one of those then.
On a side-note: shouldn't I theoretically be able to reach up to 300Mbps with the current 6235N card?
Just wondering if the AC card will actually improve the speed, seeing as I'm far lower than this currently.
theoretically, yes. in real world, it depends on various factors, including router type and compatibility (e.g. router firmware updates might be needed; different configurations have different outcomes), distance, drivers, system tweaks, etc. if everything is right, you might get close to full speed. i have a 6235-n in my g55 currently, it is connected at minimum 216Mbps to my office .n routers/ap. (.ac cards are not working well in the same environment because they have set the wifi routers/ap's to maximum compatibility)
all i did was just install the card, then did a fresh windows install (w8.1), grabbed and installed drivers from intel. i also disable power management in all wifi cards.
at home i use asus.rt-ac66u. even if i have a broadcom card in one of my machines, by default this combo cannot get the full 867mbps. once i set the card up so that it only use 5G, then it's full speed all the way. note that i don't have issues with intel 7260-ac with ac66u. it's as simple as install the card and driver (fresh windows install), and it's running at full speed. (the router is in the same room).
