then 11n *SHOULD* be possible.  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.
