All the WiFi dongles I know of provide ethernet connection to a usb port where they get their power from. Not sure how you plan to connect one to the MJ+ 
So I think the short answer is No.
You could use something like a wireless bridge and plug your MJ+ into it and have a WiFi connection to your LAN if that is what your looking for. Daily Steals has one of those type units (Netgear WN2000RPT) on sale today for $19.95.

| since my ethernet connection faraway from the place where I want to have the majic jack place. So instead feeding wired ethernet connection to the MJ, then if I can use the WIFI to feed to the Majic Jack then can make a call thru wifi . Just a thought |

| That is really my MJ plus set up. I am using ASUS WL-330gE Wireless Router as ethernet adapter and everything is working good. NO problem yet so far. Cost $22.99 from Newegg after $20 Mail in Rebate . |

a pair of game adapter are cheap ... and you can put your + or duo anywhere in the house ...
yes, i have the + and the duo running at the same time with NO conflicts ...
Some game adaptors MUST connect directly into the outlet ... no extension cords ...
