- If the WiFi dongle OVERHEATS, it can't damage the system board because not directly connected to it.
- Improves SIGNAL RECEPTION. You can move the dongle around to the best reception spot because not directly attached to the PC.
- I always thought RADIATION of any kind was harmful to your health. If you use a USB extension cable, the extension cable provides some electrical resistance. So, when the power finally reaches the WiFi dongle, the voltage and/or amps will have been greatly reduced leading the WiFi dongle to output less radiation!

I saw this popup a lot in the forum. Basically, Deepin is just one software company. They don't have a repository of drivers for every WiFi card ever made. Here's what you can do if your WiFi card is not recognized by Deepin 20.7:
They only cost $2.5 USD on eBay. The item to search for is "RTL8188". That's the generic chipset all these WiFi dongles are using. I have personally confirmed this to work in Deepin 20.7 without needing external drivers!
These are WiFi N (WiFi4) adapters by the way and heat up a lot. I have killed one probably from overheating it, so get plenty because they're so cheap...
