Unfortunately there are no working drivers at this moment, especially if your kernel is pretty new. I have kernel 4.8.41 or something like that ( type in terminal to know your version: uname -r ) and none of these "fixed" versions work.
You can try, especially if you have kernel version number less than mine (4.4 for example) to install one fixed driver.
First of all type in terminal (go first to /home/yourusername/Downloads for example):
Sudo apt-get install git
When its done, type or copy paste:
Git clone https://github.com/ulli-kroll/mt7610u.git
Then:
cd mt7610u
Sudo apt-get install build-essentials
When its done:
Sudo make
When its done, if no errors:
Sudo make installfw
Sudo depmod -a
Then:
sudo insmod mt7610u.ko
If that insmod doesnt work, for example error with symbol, type:
sudo modprobe mt7610u
If it gives error, not found, then:
Sudo cp mt7610u.ko /path/which/error/message/said
And then again:
sudo modprobe mt7610u
If you get kernel panic/your system freezes, remove your dongle, restart from button, go to terminal, follow what answer here says:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/521222/how-to-unload-a-kernel-module-which-is-in-use
Then type:
sudo reboot
Then put your dongle back. Unfortunately, the driver does not work in this case, and you can look for updates for example in ulli-kroll page of github. (Not my driver, but for me seems that that is the best of current ones)
