+1 for Panda. I don't think any drivers are necessary. TC will know.

Excellent, thanks for the reply with a link.
Are the required drivers already in Linux Lite? Or do I have to search, find and then install them?
When I receive an answer to these questions, I will order one.

Jim.

It is  difficult to recommend wifi adaptors for Linux unless you have the hardware to hand.  I have three or four old adaptors which I have had working on older/different releases of linux, but I'm not currently using any USB wifi adaptors on Linux Lite 6.0 or 5.x.

Maybe someone who is actively using a dongle can help.

If not then there are articles on the Internet which might be worth reading to give some ideas, but even 'recommended' models can get negative reviews.

If you can find out a devices' chipset before buying, check the Linux Lite hardware database for matches to see if others are using it.

Generally, a branded device is more likely to have support from the manufacturer and publish what chipset is inside.

A reputable supplier should reduce the risk of getting a fake unit and have decent returns policy.

If you buy one, it might work out of the box but be prepared to manually identify what chipset you have and search out and install specific drivers.

Thanks Steve,
I suggest a change of approach. How about you suggest for me an available USB WiFi adapter that has readily available drivers, to be installed or already in the operating system, that I can purchase?
If you can do that for me, I will obtain one and start afresh.
I have taken a look at the TP link installation instructions and they look rather daunting to me.
What do you think?

Jim.
