No Wi-Fi Adapter Found Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I am having problems with my Wi-Fi connection. I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my Asus TP500LA, and in the Wi-Fi setting it says "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found"

Can someone please help me figure out this Wi-Fi dilemma. Thank You in advance!

Output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A3:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14c3:7630]
    Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [105b:e074]

@SiddharthDushantha Why would installing Broadcom drivers solve OP's issue with Mediatek device?! — pomsky, Aug 06 '18 at 05:10
My wireless is working now. Thank you so much! The link pomsky sent worked! — LohNo 16, Aug 06 '18 at 11:23

Looks like you forgot to tick the option to install the WiFi hardware.

I know that there is way to fix by installing the WiFi drivers. But I have forgotten what the package it was. If I were you, I would check this answer.

If you have tried everything you can, I would recommend you reinstall Ubuntu and make sure to tick the option to install the WiFi hardwares.
