Ubuntu 16.04.1 - HP Pavilion x360 Convertible PC - Wifi not working

Question

So, a family member received a HP Pavilion x360 Convertible PC for Christmas. For [Person] I dual booted it with Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS and the Preinstalled Win 10. I have not found a post or anything online about this issue (sort of). The first problem was the interface would not even show up and I found a post on that which basically said to install Kernel 4.7 and install linux-firmware_1.161_all.deb. So I did so and I am now able to see wlo1 (assuming the wifi device) so I went into system settings and as soon as I turn the wifi on, It switches off... or in console this happens:

FYI the wifi device is a Intel 3168NGW, works fine on windows
