It is difficult to recommend wifi adaptors for Linux unless you have the hardware to hand. I have three or four old adaptors which I have had working on older/different releases of linux, but I'm not currently using any USB wifi adaptors on Linux Lite 6.0 or 5.x.
Maybe someone who is actively using a dongle can help.
If not then there are articles on the Internet which might be worth reading to give some ideas, but even 'recommended' models can get negative reviews.
If you can find out a devices' chipset before buying, check the Linux Lite hardware database for matches to see if others are using it.
Generally, a branded device is more likely to have support from the manufacturer and publish what chipset is inside.
A reputable supplier should reduce the risk of getting a fake unit and have decent returns policy.
If you buy one, it might work out of the box but be prepared to manually identify what chipset you have and search out and install specific drivers.
