I am new to Ubuntu. For the last 3 complete days I have been looking for a solution to this problem with no luck. I have read almost all the similar question posted on Ask Ubuntu but there is no solution. Few people mark the question as Duplicate. Instead of marking it as duplicate and redirecting to other link can anyone please answer the question here.

Weak WiFi signal, have to sit very close to the router to work(3-4 feet). I have dual booted window and installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

In this Ask Ubuntu Question, it was written to add the output of these commands:

  1. sudo lshw -class network

  2. lsusb

  3. lspci

  4. dmesg

  5. dmesg | grep -i firmware

    So i am adding them here.
