Unable to get Wifi to work.

I'm using a Ralink RT5370 chipset device which is listed as compatible. This is the exact adapter I'm using.

On boot, the blue light turns on briefly, but stays off after it fully boots. The SSID is undetectable.

Using ifconfig gives:
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.88.188  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.88.255

Anything else you need, I'll be happy to try and provide.

I haven't been able to find anything that could get it to work and I'm lost in what to do.. :/

ANY help would be wonderful, thanks!

Edit 1: Tried to explain how it wasn't working.
Edit 2: Added link to exact wifi adapter.
