How to Enable Wifi N-only in Ubuntu 14.04 on Broadcom BCM4360?
For the wifi issue:
MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs have very similar wireless cards (if not the same), so a simple sudo update && sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer should do the trick.
The reason for it not connecting to the router could be because it is a different type of connection, that the current driver does not support.
You cannot but you can get more stability in the wifi connection in the hardware, which may lead to N support too sooner. Do
sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms
enable wl option
Still much instabilities and interruptions in the network.

Stability by Changes in Systems
I upgraded my wifi router and phone. I am experiencing much more stability in both networks with Wifi N. I have not experienced even a single network failure with my new router where I am using its two default bands (normal and its called 5G). The laptop has the details of wifi in the settings. It chooses smartly between the networks.
The laptop works also well with the hotspot network of Oneplus 2.
