Known problem of rt2800usb. You might try the original vendor driver[1]
if you want to use the device as STA. Are you running this test on ARM?
rt2800usb runs *extremely* poor with Raspi, e.g.

With the vendor driver rt5572..., I'm getting > 100MBit/s (measured w/
netperf) running at 2.4 GHz and 40 MHz even through reinforced concrete
floor using a rt5372 chip, e.g. - even w/ Raspberry Pi.
