I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04. I changed my username following these instructions.

No problem.

I then used these instructions to configure wifi (I've done this many times before but not after changing my username), but noticed that there was nothing under /media/. I'm guessing it was deleted by changing my username.

How do I repopulate /media/ so that I can install wifi?

Thanks.

As far as I know, the /media directory in a fresh install is already empty and should have no effect on the Wifi.

If you absolutely have to do what that guide in the second link said, hunt down that Live USB Stick with the Ubuntu image on it and plug it into your machine. Once you plug it in (assuming you're using the Desktop version of Ubuntu), the drive should automatically mount at /media/<username>/<volname>. Then you can run the dpkg commands listed in the guide.
