What is a Wi-Fi dongle?🤔🤷

[Muskitballs]

Hello. I'm not a very tech savy person so here's my question. I have a desktop computer that is NOT wi-fi capable. I recently had fiber optic internet installed with a wireless router. How can I hook to the internet wirelessly with my desktop. I was told to get a wifi dongle. Is this what I need? And which one is the best one to get? How do I set it up? Etc, etc? Thanks in advance.

Hello

A wifi dongle or an adapter is usually a usb wifi device that you just plug in.. Also i would suggest that if your router has 5g wifi get an adapter that will use that instead and or both (2.4 mhz) speed..

Here is a link.. https://www.amazon.com/wifi-dongle/s?k=wifi+dongle

Also if it has software with which ever wifi adapter you get use it.

Why would you want to go wireless ?
If your current network card is 10/100/1000 it will perform faster then Wi-fi
