Nevermind, I just noticed your new output. Hold on while I examine it...

Hi...

Does the solution here work (for your wireless adapter?)

Regards...

Ok. Assuming you downloaded & extracted it to your Downloads folder

You should look something like this in your terminal

Code:
harry@biker:~
$ cd Downloads
harry@biker:~/Downloads
$ ls
Archer T2U_V1_150901  mps
harry@biker:~/Downloads
$ cd Archer\ T2U_V1_150901/
harry@biker:~/Downloads/Archer T2U_V1_150901
$ ls
config.mk     DPA.SearchResults     Untitled Project.IMB
cp_module.sh  DPA.WK3               Untitled Project.IMD
cp_util.sh    load.sh               Untitled Project.PFI
DPA.IAB       Makefile              Untitled Project.PO
DPA.IAD       Makefile.clean        Untitled Project.PR
DPA.IMB       Makefile.inc          Untitled Project.PRI
DPA.IMD       MODULE                Untitled Project.PS
DPA.PFI       NETIF                 Untitled Project.SearchResults
DPA.PO        test                  Untitled Project.WK3
DPA.PR        unload.sh             UTIL
DPA.PRI       Untitled Project.IAB
DPA.PS        Untitled Project.IAD
harry@biker:~/Downloads/Archer T2U_V1_150901
We are trying to teach you something here.

So I read the load.sh file (the installer) I show above and it says

Code:
rm -rf /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/
cp .Wireless/RT2870STA//MODULE/conf/RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
chmod 777 -R /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
insmod ./UTIL/os/linux/mt7650u_sta_util.ko 
insmod ./MODULE/os/linux/mt7650u_sta.ko    
insmod ./NETIF/os/linux/mt7650u_sta_net.ko
lsmod | grep "mt7650"
ifconfig ra0 up
I am supplying this info for other members since you have not.

Code:
sudo ./load.sh
should be the install command but do not run it as I am not 100 sure and do not want to give bad advise and break your install. For starters I don't know if ra0 or eth1 or wlan0 is your wireless interface on your linux install and the last command is "ifconfig ra0 up" which throws me for a loop.

Be patient and wait for another member to back me up on this. My wifi already works so I cannot run that command on mine.

Edit: I deleted that driver folder in my downloads folder as I do not need it on my rig.

2nd Edit: a reboot is required after a wireless driver install to take.

I am running in live mode. So if I reboot does that mean I lose all my progress?

First question: Why did you turn off UEFI?
Do you intend to keep Windows 10, and install Mint to the hard drive as dual boot?
I hope you realize that with Windows 10 installed in UEFI mode, your linux OS must also be installed in UEFI mode - assuming that you want to keep Windows.
Which one are you trying to install now - Mint or lubuntu?
Can you successfully boot the Mint USB?
Read the release notes for Mint if you have problems with your Nvidia graphics.
Quote:
At the boot menu of the live DVD/USB, press Tab to edit the boot arguments and add "nomodeset" at the end of the line.
Remove "quiet splash --" from that same line.
Append "nouveau.noaccel=1" at the end of the line.

I also keep getting No input/output errors. Why must this be so complicated?
