My netgear wireless adapter appears to be the same model as from this thread, but the steps didn't end up working out for me. No errors were given.
Note: This is the second attempt, so some files are already installed/updated. I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, I'm not used to the environment.

Here's the terminal after each step:

2. 
   

   Downloaded the files from post #6 and put them onto my desktop.

   
   
   

   $ arch
   
   x86_64
   
   $ cd ~/Desktop/Broadcom_bcm43xx_USB_32_64bit_v2
   
   

   
   
   

   My command line now appears as:

   
   
   

   shawn@shawn-Z68XP-UD3P:~/Desktop/Broadcom_bcm43xx_USB_32_64bit_v2$ 
   
   

   
   


3. 
   

   As arch returned x84_64 I issued:

   
   
   

   $ sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmn43xx64.inf
   
   driver bcmn43xx64 is already installed
   
   
   
   $ sudo ndiswrapper -ma
   
   module configuration information is stored in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
   
   

   
   


4. 
   

   This step didn't return any information back.

   
   
   

   sudo depmod -a
   
   

   
   


5. 
   

   This step also didn't return any information back.

   
   
   

   sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
   
   

   
   

Thanks for any help. I was going to pm Chili555, the author of the answer to the previous thread, but I couldn't find an option. (Maybe I need more rep?)

According to the comments reinstalling ndiswrapper and reperforming the steps following the installation fixed the issue. To reinstall ndiswrapper:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ndiswrapper ndiswrapper-dkms
