Vostro 220, WiFi adapter
I recently acquired a Vostro 220 upgraded to Windows 8, but only has an ethernet port. Will a 600 Mbps dual band 2.4/5GHz wireless USB WiFi network adapter work with this unit? If not, any recommendations would be appreciated.

USB WiFi dongle is the easy way to add WiFi to any Windows computer.
However, with only USB-2.0 ports and a baby computer ... it should work fine but you're not gonna break any speed records. :Smile:

You don't move a desktop around so the best connection is to use the ethernet cable. Just position your router close to the desktop. Other devices can use the wireless.

Dual Band adapters are Cheap and they work fine.
Windows 8 and up they are plug and play.
