I have two front USB ports, but I need both free for temporary devices
I use frequently.

This dongle already comes with an extension cable. That's one reason I
got it.  The dongle and antenna combo plug into a weighted base, but
the fit is so tight it's very difficult to plug and unplug it. Afraid I
might break it.  Maybe it will loosen up overtime.

But since I only shutdown the system to clean it and have to pull it
out of its cubbyhole anyway to do so, access to the rear easier.

So, two options available.

Thanks
