In the terminal, type:
sudo apt update # update the software database
sudo apt install dnsmasq-base # install dnsmasq-base
nm-connection-editor # start the GUI editor
Click the + button to create a new connection... choose Wi-Fi...

Set up this window, including the MAC address of your USB dongle... if the USB dongle is currently inserted, you can just use the pull-down menu to enter the MAC address for you...
