WiFi dongles

This doesn't work at all.

Was my original question too obvious or too much of a novice question?

Also why will the tp-link not work at all?


You need a driver for it.

Have a look at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt...p?t=271924

As a general rule, WiFi adapters first and foremost are developed and sold for Windows systems. Over the years, LInux (and hence) Raspbian support for WiFi has gotten better but it still pays to your homework before buying an adapter you haven't seen discussed as working on your target system.
