USB ethernet, yes, but USB wireless, highly unlikely and not supported. UTM has a very small and limited range of drivers available to it. Look back through this forum and you might be able to find a thread or two of external NICs that others have tried. It would NEED to be one that uses the exact same chipset that is used in the UTM appliances with built-in wireless.

Hi, Omars1970, and welcome to the User BB!

To find some mention of ones that do and don't work, google site:astaro.org wireless USB

Be aware that the UTM's OS is not plug-n-play. To add a new device type you must re-install from ISO so that the driver is loaded.
