Yes, you certainly can connect USB wireless adapter for internet connection.  If you also want bluetooth in addition to wifi, then look for a PCIe wifi/bluetooth adapter.  It will be connected to a PCIe slot with a couple of external antenna sticking out on the back of the computer.

Hi

There may be other possibilities...

Use a Mobile (cell) phone and share it's connection to your router.

Thru-the-Mains https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/406/ of which I use as a fallback.

Even ...  40m Ethernet CAT6 RJ45 Network Cable, or 2 cables and a coupler.
