I am facing the exact similar problem as mentioned in this post except that it on Ubuntu 16.04.

I can find some wireless networks available but not the one I want to connect to. I am able to connect to that network using my mobile.

$ lspci -nn | grep 0280    
07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)

I performed an iw reg set IN to set it to India.

I installed the right driver bcmwl-kernel-source as mentioned in the below link. Only when I installed that driver I was able to find some wireless networks but unfortunately not mine.

Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers

$ lsmod | grep -e wl -e brcmsmac    
wl       6365184 0 
cfg80211 565248 1 wl

Is there something I am missing? How can I get my wireless connection listed? Please help.

What channel is your wifi on that Ubuntu can't see? – Jeremy31 Jun 07 '16 at 11:30
@Jeremy31, currently its on channel 12. Signal strength is very good and also no interference from the surroundings. – Vineela Jun 07 '16 at 13:55
Try 11 or lower, I have doubts about that driver. I think that 11-14 are disabled by the driver – Jeremy31 Jun 07 '16 at 14:08
@Jeremy31, Modified the channel below 11 and I am able to connect to my wifi. Thank you so much for the help. – Vineela Jun 08 '16 at 05:34
