no access points shown other than connected to wired.   

What commands are needed to grab the file listed above and copy to /lib/firmware/ directory?

Re: ralink usb wireless not found or installed Help

Will this file help with the install of the proper driver  and if so how do I go about doing it?

I have downloaded the zip file from MediaTek and extracted the file to make it easier and have attached the file here for you, you can download the file (click it) and then open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing the downloaded file (this is usually the Documents folder, but you may have changed this from the download dialog) and then you will need to issue two commands.

sudo mv /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bak
sudo cp MT7601.bin /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin

You will need to enter your user password.
This will backup your old file (in case you need to put it back later) and then copy the downloaded file to the firmware folder.
You will need to restart network services for this to take effect, but I usually reboot to ensure a clean system.
