I'm a new Ubuntu user trying to get my wifi working properly.
How do I install a downloaded driver?
After changing some configurations in my router I'm able to get 5Mbps on my laptop (but +100Mbps on my smartphone)
I've also followed this whole itsfoss tutorial but I'm still not getting the full speed.
Recently I've found the proper driver on intel.com.
I've copied the iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode file to /libfirmware
But I guess my wifi is still using the generic driver.

Sorry, guys! My mistake.
By executing: $ nmcli dev wifi list
1. I've realized it was a router configuration.
It was only 802.11b (limited to 11mbps).
I've changed to 802.11n (up to 130mbps).
2. I've also realized that
There is a bug on Intel Support for Linux Page. The Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1000 firmware versions are switched between Kernel versions 3.2+ and 2.6.30+.
Then I've followed this steps:
$ tar -xvzf iwlwifi-1000-ucode-39.31.5.1.tgz $ cd iwlwifi-1000-ucode-39.31.5.1/ $ sudo cp iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode /lib/firmware/
