(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

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.
