That link is about the Xbox 360 controller which uses it's own wireless adapter. The Xbox One S controller has bluetooth and the user above is trying to use that.
I also have the same issue - the controller will pair but it will do nothing.
However after googling around I found the solution.
Code:
sudo echo 1 > /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm
bluetoothctl
scan on
pair xxx (the Mac of the controller)
connect xxx (the mac of the controller)
I also tried pressing the connect button on the controller as well.
It's now connected.
I am using kernel 4.8.12 on Ubuntu 16.04
