Wifi Via USB? - andycrofts - 2018-05-12

Hi
System Blue - as a lot of folks use Wifi, rather than connect their 'devices' to internet by cable, is the USB connector 'smart' enough for me to hang a WiFi dongle (via an adapter cable, 'natch) to it? Or do I need to get a WiFi - CAT cable converter?
Thanks
Andy, Oulu, Finland.

The USB connector is for power only, so it's not smart enough. Com is through the Network jack.
