WIFI not connecting to wifi router Ubuntu 16.04.03

Seems like its already installed (libsecret-1-0)

I did this: sudo lshw
looking to see what my wireless chipset is to see if I can get a better driver than:

driver=iwlwifi driverversion=4.10.0-40-generic firmware=22.391740.0

What I get back is this: (so I don't really know what my chipset is)

As you might be able to see from below, I just connected to another wifi that I had previously done, and I already "had secrets", so the wifi works fine. Here is the difference between both:
