How can I install USB Wifi drivers to Lubuntu?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite 1 I'm trying to bring back an old PC to life. After looking around I concluded that Lubuntu is a great option. It's modern yet fast, using very little resources. This computer is in a room where it would be very inconvenient to throw a cable to connect to internet, so I have a USB Wifi receiver dongle. It's the ZyXEL G-220 v3 and I have the original driver disc for it, the thing is, it's for Windows. I am new to Linux and don't really even know where to start. I did find where my devices are located (System Profiler and Benchmark) but still don't know how to make it work. If anybody could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
