Hello,
What does it happens after you insert the dongle in one of the USB of your PI ?
(Please, provide what PI model and the operating system you have installed on it).
Supposing that you have this issue with the Raspbian distribution on a PI 2, first of all from a terminal execute the lsusb command. You should expect to see your dongle detected anyway, with a response similar to the following:
Let us know what is your.

Hi,
I have the pi 2 model b.
I have installed noobs.
And the result of lsusb is:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 13b1:003a Linksys AE2500 802.11abgn Wireless Adapter [Broadcom BCM43236]
Also my network:
It's here 
Sorry for the delay but there was some trouble here ...
Well. The point is that your hardware is OK. And IMO this is a great starting point. There are two things that maybe useful to do first of all, the first is the command ifconfig and then please paste here what do you read. The second is to set in the desktop environment the visibility of the wireless network connections. Then, you can provide your adsl wpa and start connecting the PI to the Internet.
The ifconfig gives us information if your dongle is also identified as a network peripheral or if you see the ethernet only. In this moment I am installing a Raspberry with a WiFi (different dongle but it does no matter), so I can be more helpful in few time with a similar situation like yours in front of me.
Let me know.
Enrico
