Got my dongle last Friday and after fixing one issue (many thanks to xtknight on github) I'm be able now to establish a 135MBit/s connection on at a 2.4G network

Code:

ra0       Ralink STA  ESSID:"BigBellN"  Nickname:"MT7610U_STA"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.437 GHz  Access Point: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  
          Bit Rate=135 Mb/s  
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX   Security mode:open
          Link Quality=100/100  Signal level:-56 dBm  Noise level:-104 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

5G should also work, but for further tests I need a 5G AP first

I get 135MBits/s on 5G when running from my PC, it's just not that fast with the pi.

Code:

greenbag@lotusland:~$ sudo iwconfig
ra0       Ralink STA  ESSID:"SHAW-5G"  Nickname:"MT7610U_STA"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=5.18 GHz  Access Point: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  
          Bit Rate=135 Mb/s  
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx [2]   Security mode:open
          Link Quality=100/100  Signal level:-51 dBm  Noise level:-89 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

I tried the xtknight source.. it wouldn't compile for me.
