How to get Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168 work on Ubuntu 16.04?
I searched many solutions on this site but most of them were referring to Broadcom Wifi drivers while mine has Intel one.

Connect to the internet by some other way and install the 4.8+ kernel
sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04
You also need firmware for this device. Update your system by
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
and the firmware will be installed.
Reboot and the wireless device should work.
To get it working out of the box, you need to install Ubuntu 16.04.2+ that has support of this device.
