I have just installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and the installation went smoothly but I can't seem to connect to WiFi, the button to select networks is greyed and it shows WiFi Network disconnected. I have looked through the other threads and none seem to be working...

It might be because of missing drivers, if you have a LAN cable:
- connect your device to the internet
- open Software & Updates
 
- go to the 5th Tab named Additional Drivers and wait until you see the right driver for your device
 
 - apply the changes
 
 
 
 
[Edit]
It seems to be the same problem, download the driver on this way.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtlwifi-new-dkms
Reboot your device
I hope it could solve your problem. Let me know if it was helpful.

 Nothing is showing in additional drivers, it displays No additonal drivers available

 So you were able to establish a wired connection before you have tried that?
