I am new to linux so there are many things that I may or may not have done correctly, but I have gone through many solutions on installing this driver for the USB adapter, however, I never have the option to go and choose a WiFi network.

I tried using the manufacturer's driver, it was outdated so I had to use a third party fix. It looked like it worked, but I couldn't detect any networks.

I then tried to use the Windows Wireless Driver program, then it notifies me that all the drivers are incorrect. Surely there has to be something that can be done to fix this driver or network detection issue?

My "lsusb" output

I know it's already answered but I found an easier solution. There's a PPA with the correct driver here: https://code.launchpad.net/~thopiekar/+archive/ubuntu/mt7601

So, all you have to do is type this on console:

apt-add-repository ppa:thopiekar/mt7601
apt update
apt install mt7601
