I am not running Ubuntu 16.04 nor do I have the device, so I don't know for certain. However, you can find out yourself easy enough. Follow the steps up through make and stop. Did the process end in an error or did it compile the driver module and end in MODPOST? If the latter, just continue and you're all set.

If the process ends in an error, then we can conclude that the circa-2013 package is too old for your 4.4.0-xx kernel version. Then ask a new question and ask if there IS a method to make it work in 4.4.0-xx and later. Until I learn more, my answer is that there is not.

  • If the solution above is old,do you think that is better don't use it?I always forget that I copied,because I don't have a CD player,all the Cd that comes with the adapter,the question is can I use it and how?because I'm unable to run it.Thank you – ubu16 Jan 21 '17 at 13:44
  • I'm saying try it up to make and see what happens. – chili555 Jan 21 '17 at 15:23
  • Sorry "chili555" I have a question, before I insist with new try with driver installation,I have, with Windows,a connection speed of about 280Mbps wired.How much should have I with Ubuntu?To be correct I use Ubuntu on a pc with a network card that can reach no more 100 Mbps.Thank you – ubu16 Jan 21 '17 at 23:12
  • I haven't any information about that specific device. I would think it should do, at a minimum, 54 Mbps. – chili555 Jan 22 '17 at 00:45
  • Can you,please,help me to understand if there is something wrong,because I can reach no more than 25-30 Mbps,wired.I installed 16.04LTS (for the second time) at the end of the year,to be sure that everything is OK.Thank you – ubu16 Jan 22 '17 at 02:28
  • "My wired internet is slow" is a different question from can I get my MT7610 USB wireless working. I suggest you start a new question. – chili555 Jan 22 '17 at 03:03
  • Sorry "chili555" if I'm disturbing you,I'd like to have your opinion about this post http://i.imgur.com/Hp0oNrk.jpg.Is it so unclear?and do you think that using,back to the old question,the wireless adapter can improve my wireless speed,now is about 17 Mbps.Thank you – ubu16 Jan 23 '17 at 23:40
  • The only way to know is to try the driver as I suggested and then do a proper speed test; here, for example: http://www.speedtest.net/ – chili555 Jan 24 '17 at 00:29
  • I tried the driver,the only "good news"is that I saw,for the first time a solid,not blinking like on the other adapter I'm using with Windows,green light.The download speed I'd say the same.At this point I can't do nothing to improve my download speed,have you same ideas?Curiosity,are you using Ubuntu?and which speed can you reach?ok,it depends which pc you are using,but if isn't possible to use 5 Ghz,which is the top speed that can be reached with Ubuntu or other distros?Thank you – ubu16 Jan 25 '17 at 01:39
  • Yes, I use Ubuntu on all four computers in my home. My wireless speed, like yours, depends on your internet service provider, router, wireless card and driver version. Here is a recent test on this very computer (wireless): http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/7373978 Depending on the hardware and driver, it is entirely possible to use 5 gHz as I am right now. – chili555 Jan 25 '17 at 01:45
  • What do you suggest to me?keep my small pc like it is and forget adapters?Thank you – ubu16 Jan 25 '17 at 02:00
  • Have you tried all the steps here? http://askubuntu.com/questions/872352/ubuntu-14-wifi-doesnt-work/872362#872362 – chili555 Jan 25 '17 at 02:36
  • "lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A2" doesn't give output."sudo iwlist wlan0 scan"interface doesn't support scanning.I have 2,4 GHz on channel 6, 20 GHz,I tried it's the best and WPA2,"IPv6 "no connection(unchangeable).What do you think?Thank you – ubu16 Jan 25 '17 at 23:28
  • It sounds like you've done all the right things. What does http://www.speedtest.net/ tell us now? – chili555 Jan 26 '17 at 01:18
  • PLEASE DON'T MOVE TO CHAT-Now I have about 20 Mbps wireless.Please what do think about "Ubuntu Tweak"just for cleaning?Is it safe?Thank you – ubu16 Jan 26 '17 at 01:27
  • I have never used it and have no opinion. – chili555 Jan 26 '17 at 02:05
  • It's me again,sorry,I have a question for you.Can you explain why the download speed with Chromium is:wireless 21+ wired 31+ and with Firefox is: wireless 24- wired 10+.Thank you – ubu16 Jan 29 '17 at 01:45
  • With speedtest.net or some other way? – chili555 Jan 29 '17 at 01:57
  • Always with Speedtest.net and the same server.Look with Firefox wireless is more than wired and the wired speed with Chromium/Firefox.What do you think? – ubu16 Jan 29 '17 at 02:03
  • What I think is that this has gone far, far off the topic of the original question. Please start a new question about the speed of your ethernet connection. Include as many details as possible including: lspci -nnk | grep 0200 -A2 My apologies to the moderators. – chili555 Jan 29 '17 at 14:16
