I’ve tried many things, just starting off in Linux.
Running latest updates of SUSE KDE (GNOME needs updating but same issues).
my lsusb is:

I’ve gotten close using an ubuntu forum editing the blacklist.conf file pointing to the rt2800 ralink driver, the system saw my device, had LED activity and got as close as attempting to connect, but it would never resolve.
Some assistance would be much appreciated for this newbie!
Thanks!
