Bug Description

Since installing Ubuntu 16.04 2 64bit, I have not been able to connect to my wireless router at home without the help of a usb wifi dongle. The connection was fine before I changed my OS from Windows to Ubuntu. I tried every possible settings change I could think of, but nothing worked, I just kept being asked for the password again and again. Oddly, the laptop will still connect to some other wireless signals as usual, just not my Qwest one at home (and yes, I know that the password is absolutely correct).
