Slow Internet connection

Can you help me please?
I´m new user of Zorin OS 9 lite (old user of Windows XP). Can you explain it step by step?

The OS has been installed correctly.

The problem is the malfunctioning of Internet connection (slow).
I use Ralink usb wifi RT3070. In Windows XP it works perfectly.

How can I fix this?

Thanks! Regards.

Try this. Plug the dongle, open terminal and run the following command:

sudo modprobe rt2800usb

Does the dongle start working?

If not, please post back the result of the following command:

dmesg | grep rt2
