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...

My laptop uses Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter

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.
