Hello! I am a new Trisquel user and I would like to buy some hardware to enable the WiFi on my Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I am not a computer expert and I see that there are many products in the catalog:

Could you please give me some advice? For example, will I be able to use WiFi with this USB extension?

Thank you! And will it possibly slow down the internet connection?

Probably not any more than any other wifi.

You see the data rates on that page. They assume you have 100% signal strength and other optimal conditions, so in reality you'll be below that.

If you use the following link, 25% of the profits of your purchase will be donated to the Trisquel project: http://libre.thinkpenguin.com ;-)

Ops... I used the link in my first post for my purchase, assuming that 25% of the profits would go to Trisquel even so. Is it the same thing?

It's the same device, don't worry about it. It just doesn't cause a donation to be sent. (Specifically, a donation is sent to the Trisquel project if something is in your shopping cart called "Donation to Trisquel project". Using http://libre.thinkpenguin.com automatically adds that to your shopping cart.)

OK, thanks. Next time I'll add that line before paying.
