Just got a V7 HD but it does not come with a WIFI adapter.

Do I need one to use the receiver?

Thanks.

If you want to use an internet server eg Cccam, Newcamd, Mgcamd, IKS or youtube then Yes you need the wifi antenna.
If you use the box for FTA, Powervue, Biss or Tandberg then NO you don't need the wifi antenna

Depends where you are located, Ebay has lots of them but you might be able to get them from your local satellite shop, I can buy them from 3 shops here in Mexico as well as the Mexican Ebay (Mercado Libre) . Cost between 5 to 10 USD.

I've used the nexxt nano usb adapter, it has the ralink5370 chipset, take into account that it doesn't have a moving antenna but depends on the location of your WiFi source to get good signal.

Although my wifi dongle came with the box, you can use most dongles that are advertised for the MAG254 iptv boxes and also the Jynxbox satellite boxes, they all use the same chipset.
Like this for example

There is this old discussion from 2016 re wifi chipsets etc.

And this one re the chipset that works.

Searching the forums with "Chipset" finds this info.
