KTO's questions

I am a bit lost sorting through the pile of documentation and Q&As about this topic so im just going to specifically ask.

I run an ASUS laptop, its a few years old and is unable to use 5ghz wifi, so i have use a usb wireless adapter (Flenco is the brand name, its just a standard 600mbps adapter, and no im not sure what serious of words and numbers anyone would need to identify it lol), to connect to the much faster wifi. on windows obviously no issue, plug and play etc. its the difference between 4-6 mbps download and 45-60mbps download.

I can not for the life of me get my linux to see it, and im too much of a noob to keep randomly messing up my system grasping at straws. It doesnt show up when i run lsusb, at least not under any name that would lead me down a fix path, not that i would know what to do from there anyways.

I am completely positive this has been solved a hundred times over and I apologize for that, if someone could maybe point me towards a prior answer or offer a little more direct guidance that would be amazing.

I run Ubuntu 19.04, everything is up to date and working very well, just this issue.

Thanks!
