(First time using Ubuntu) I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on 16GB USB.

With the command lspci , I found that I have Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter on my HP Pavilion 15-n004tx Notebook PC.

It was not shown in the network drop-down list from Menu bar.

After using the instructions from this askubuntu link, now MEDIATEK MT7630 is shown in network list, but disconnected.

Can this adapter be used on my laptop. If yes, what else should I do to make it work ?

I am using a USB wifi adapter for now. But if I remove this USB wifi adapter, the internal Wifi adapter (MEDIATEK MT7630) is not working.

lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list

08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14c3:7630]
    DeviceName: Mediatek WLAN Mediatek Civic MT7630E bgn 1x1 + BT 4 LE PCIe+USB HMCWW
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [103c:197c]    
    Kernel driver in use: mt7630e
    Kernel modules: mt7630e


0: hci0: Bluetooth 
   Soft blocked: no
   Hard blocked: no

The MEDIATEK MT7630 adapter is present only if I connect a USB wifi adapter.

Why is MT7630 adapter depending on external USB wifi adapter ?

Edit : The solution given here works for me. Wifi is working now.

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list terminal command. – Pilot6 Aug 31 '17 at 17:03
  • Please post terminal output as text, not as a screenshot. What do you mean "disconnected"? Connect it to some wireless network. Reboot first, maybe NM needs a restart. – Pilot6 Aug 31 '17 at 17:18
  • I have restarted the system.. but problem is not solved. I have added two screen grabs. – simajinid Aug 31 '17 at 17:55
  • It is not depending on the external adapter. It just doesn't work. I have no answer. – Pilot6 Aug 31 '17 at 18:02
  • driver mt7680e is for the bluetooth, you need MT7680e for the wifi. – ravery Sep 01 '17 at 04:22
  • According to the link that I have mentioned, MT7630e is driver for mediatek MT7630E Wifi + Bluetooth combo chip . – simajinid Sep 01 '17 at 14:16
  • It is the correct driver. What does dmesg | grep mt show? – Pilot6 Sep 01 '17 at 14:21
  • Okay.... so i reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04 and followed the same instructions... now wifi is working... Bluetooth is not working but for now my problem is solved... thanks @Pilot6. – simajinid Sep 01 '17 at 17:42
