Hello there, Im a noob to linux but Im not new to ubuntu.
I am using an asus k555lf laptop which came with the MT7630e wifi+bluetooth combo card.
I was having a plethora of issues to get the wireless to work but i did my research and this method is sure to work on your card if you follow every condition to boot.

here goes, Im using ubuntu- Gnome 16.04 but it should work for your build regardless of the desktop environment.
Try to go with a clean install for better results.
you will need ethernet of course.
after installation, you should update your build and you can do that by navigating to the software updater app.

next up run this command

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git

let the terminal do it's magic

after its done downloading, run this command

Code:

sudo apt-get install dkms

let the terminal do it's magic

next up youre gonna want to navigate to

Code:

https://github.com/neurobin/MT7630E/releases

and download the source code.zip of the latest release in your home folder also extract it .

navigate into the extracted folder and open a terminal there
run

Code:

 chmod +x install test uninstall bpatch

the run

Code:


sudo ./install

or run

Code:

sudo make dkms

to install with dkms.

your wireless should be working and the drivers will load at startup.

cheers
