raspberry pi with wireless usb broadband

[jollysolivajonathan]

Good day! I would like to ask if i could use a wireless usb broadband to my pi.

Yes, that's what most people do. The current raspbian distribution supports most USB wlan sticks without problem. There is a list of tested wlan sticks at the wiki http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters, but if you already have one then plug it in and see if it works.

Some sticks draw too much power and need to be plugged into a USB hub instead of the Rpi direct.

Best of luck!
