I have just installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and the installation went smoothly but I can't seem to connect to WiFi, the button to select networks is greyed and it shows WiFi Network disconnected. I have looked through the other threads and none seem to be working...

          It might be because of missing drivers, if you have a LAN cable:




          • connect your device to the internet

          • open Software & Updates

          • go to the 5th Tab named Additional Drivers and wait until you see the right driver for your device


            • apply the changes




          [Edit]



          It seems to be the same problem, download the driver on this way.



          How do I get a Realtek RTL8723BE wireless card to work?



          sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install rtlwifi-new-dkms


          Reboot your device



          I hope it could solve your problem. Let me know if it was helpful.
