This PPA works fine from here. Try these Ask Ubuntu questions: 1. http://askubuntu.com/q/429803/57576 2. http://askubuntu.com/q/53146/57576 This should hopefully get you running :) – andrew.46 Aug 13 '16 at 09:01

The command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi is running fine on my system.
If it still doesn't work on your system for some reason, you can install the WiFi drivers yourself like this:
- Clone the drivers repo, lwfinger/rtlwifi_new
- Build the drivers by running:
make && sudo make install Restart the system or just restart the WiFi module by running:
sudo modprobe -r <driver-name> && sudo modprobe <driver-name>
Hope it helps!

The alternative method is worse, because it requires to re-install the driver after each kernel upgrade. The OP's problem is somewhere else. – Pilot6 Aug 13 '16 at 10:15
