Your usb was not connected to the internet when you posted the above results.

If I understand well you say that you can connect to the net but your connection drops after watching youtube videos and looking on forums?
Or you cannot connect at all using this adapter?

If you cannot connect at all we must download and install latest realtek drivers.

i.e. try this
Go here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dow ... loads=true
and download the latest unix RTL8192CU driver. (choose a download mirror). It will be a zipped file called RTL819xC_USB_linux_v3.4.4_4749.20120806.
Go to your downloads folder, find the file and extract it by right clicking on it and selecting "extract here".
Then open terminal and wrire
Code:
sudo su
cd /home/yourusername/Downloads/RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v3.4.4_4749.20120806
chmod a+x install.sh
./install.sh
modprobe -r rtl8192cu
modprobe 8192cu
exit


P.s. In the above instructions replace the in 2nd command with your username.

2nd command didn't work. It said there were no downloads even when I extracted it.

Has the file been downloaded in your Downloads folder?
Have you extracted it?
Is the name of the extracted file "RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v3.4.4_4749.20120806"? (Have you downloaded the correct file "RTL8192CU" driver ?)
Have you changed "yourusername" with your actual username?

The 2nd command is only to change directory to the specific path. You can even do it by writing "cd" in terminal and then dragging and dropping inside the terminal window the extracted driver file.
