I have been trying mightily to fix my wifi on this pc with a full Ubuntu 16.04 installation - no windows partitions; straight ubuntu. I have tried many of the suggestions including drivers bcmwl-kernel-source for braodcom. I am not sure this particular issue has been addressed. I am about to switch to another operating system, as I cannot deal without wifi.
I have been advised after a brain injury to try to get back to work in the IT world. Please exercise some patience with me instead of saying that this question has been answered.
I understand there may be issues with the UEFI on a pure Ubuntu installation. I have tried all recommended installs, etc.that I can find.
I know you don't appreciate repeat questions, but please give me a break on this one. If anyone knows a fix without giving me a hard time, I would appreciate it. We are all human here. Thanks

I am not sure what my issue was, I tried all the steps and received some error messages. As I am a newbie, I took the easy way out and bought a Panda Wireless USB adapter for $13. It took 1 minute to set up. Model PAU05 – DPJG Jan 20 '18 at 22:43
