Amazon, etc. sell lots of cheap junk, so it is important to choose an established

vendor that has good linux support -- see: <https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi>

for a list of "plug-and-play" on linux USB WiFi adapters

Not to mention that having a USB dongle sticking out on a laptop is
prone to damage or getting lost. I'd say it's worth the effort if you
can get an internal one going.

There are some very small wifi adapters that work well if the laptop has

line-of-sight to an AP. The one I use is 2.4 GHz only, as is the one shown

in the plug-and-play list.
