How to get USB wireless Linksys AE6000 to work on Ubuntu

I just installed Ubuntu 16.0.4 and no Wifi connections are showing up in my networks. So I tried:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

And this didn't change anything even though it installed successfully. Then I tried updating the system, which also didn't help.

I then tried the troubleshooting guide, and the first step tells me to write

nm-tool 

in the terminal. This command isn't recognized.

So I try lshw -C network to see if my device is recognized at all. It's not -- only the ethernet I'm using. So then I try

sudo lsusb -v

And it shows that apparently my USB device is being detected:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 13b1:003e Linksys AE6000 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter [MediaTek MT7610U]

But, the docs don't tell me what to do beyond finding out what type of device I have. What steps can I take to activate this wireless/download the drivers I need? Thanks.

EDIT:

Output of dkms status :

Solution 1:

Disable Secure Boot in BIOS and run in terminal

sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mt7610u-dkms

Reboot.

This will remove Broadcom drivers and install Mediatek ones.
