I have two OS in my computer: Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.10 (I installed it today). I'm trying to connect to the wifi and it doesn't work. My Ubuntu is recognizing all the connections available, but my machine only connects through Ethernet. I'm beginner in Linux, but I did some tests. Apparently, I have a Wireless Driver.

and see if your access point is using TKIP as that causes problems. I have the same wireless chipset using 16.04 with no connection issues but I am not using TKIP – Jeremy31 Feb 26 '17 at 00:11
