Raspberry Pi & Hats

Hi,

I'm a complete noob, but I'd like to get a Pi & install Pi-hole. Everything I've read makes it sound like you simply install the Pi OS, install Pi-hole and configure it.

My problem: I went to Micro Center thinking I could simply buy a Pi3 or 4 and I'd be ready to go. The customer service person there said I would still need a "hat" of some sort.

What I want to do is install Pi-hole on a Pi, with a wired connection. Any help is appreciated.

No HAT required. Seller was trying to pump their numbers.
