Driver for ASUS PCE AC56 too slow
up vote

I bought a 100 mbps internet line and my wifi card was not matching its speed, so I got myself an ASUS PCE AC56.
Once installed in the motherboard, I got it working by going to "Software & Updates" and installing the drivers listed in the tab "Additional drivers".
It does work now, but I barely manage to reach 60 mbps at best when using Ookla speed test.
I have Windows 10 on my computer as well, so I tried running the tests there too, and I was getting to 90 so easily, that I deduct that it must be a SO-driven problem.
Is there any way I could get more performance for my card under Ubuntu 18.04?
UPDATE
This is the output of iwconfig:
wlp5s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"FRITZ!Box 7362 SL"

Update 2:
My router is using dual band, both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz. Could it be that Ubuntu is not using 5Ghz?
