I have the same laptop. I wanted to run Debian/sid on it so I knew going in that I was going to need to do something about the wireless card. I researched[1] a bit and bought an Intel Wireless 7260 for ~$25, swapped it in, and it made all the difference.
The card identifies itself as:
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev bb)
