AFAIK, there's no USB wifi dongle you can use direct on the 5402, but if you search the 'well known auction site' for tm5402 wireless, the £9.95 one works fine. It is powered off the USB socket, but the data go through the LAN port.

I have a Vonex WiFi Bridge, which is supposed to be fine for the TM series - it certainly works well with my kitchen smart tv for wireless reception!
