Fellas, I noticed today, while finally getting to use the Fedora side of my work laptop, that my wifi is running at 1MB/s on d Dell XPS 13 9550. According to Dell this model has the Killer AC 1535 wireless chipset so possibly just a driver issue?

(Yes I know Mint.. the results for later version of Fedora were severely lacking)  

Whats odd is that I Put F25 on the wifes Lenovo just Sunday night to resolve this exact issue.

Thanks!


I think my issue is an incorrect or missing firmware:
