I am considering buying a refurbished Dell desktop to use as my go to computer and only use my laptop "on the road". I was told that the desktop in question comes with a wifi dongle. I have never been exposed to such a device, and from the limited research I have just done, it seems that it works like a mobile hotspot connecting to broadband. I have a great cable modem connected to Comcast Internet, and I have a fully functioning WIFI network in my home. Will this dongle allow me to connect to that WIFI network. I need a straight answer please, and as soon as you can provide one. Thanks for your anticipated help.

The WiFi dongle works similarly to the WiFi card in a laptop - it will just more than likely be plugged into a USB port / PCI slot instead.

Assuming the dongle is from a reputable brand and drivers are available online or on an included disc, it should work fine.
