Perhaps 11n is disabled with a module parameter by your distribution? The output of: dmesg | grep iwl might provide some insight(I see: "iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0 wlan0: disabling HT/VHT due to WEP/TKIP use" on my system connecting to a WPA1 AP. The output of: egrep -rsn 11n /etc/mod* might help determine if the 11n_disable kernel parameter is set by your distribution.
