Driver for ASUS PCE AC56 too slow

I bought a 100 mbps internet line and my wifi card was not matching its speed, so I got myself an ASUS PCE AC56.
Once installed in the motherboard, I got it working by going to "Software & Updates" and installing the drivers listed in the tab "Additional drivers".
It does work now, but I barely manage to reach 60 mbps at best when using Ookla speed test.
I have Windows 10 on my computer as well, so I tried running the tests there too, and I was getting to 90 so easily, that I deduct that it must be a SO-driven problem.
Is there any way I could get more performance for my card under Ubuntu 18.04?
UPDATE
This is the output of iwconfig:
wlp5s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"FRITZ!Box 7362 SL"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 7C:FF:4D:E3:61:76
Bit Rate=144 Mb/s Tx-Power=200 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:on
Link Quality=65/70 Signal level=-45 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Update 2:
My router is using dual band, both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz. Could it be that Ubuntu is not using 5Ghz?

1. You should check speed of your local segment (withiperfor similar running on two neighbor nodes), not world wide web. 2. Some drivers may have issues.

I do not know how to use iperf. But already tried this test with 3 different providers, all with the same results

What is the output ofiwconfig? With what speed are you connected to the AP?. Please add that information to your question by editing your question.
