You're unsure if your new motherboard supports Wi-Fi and need help finding a solution.

You must obtain a WiFi adapter, such as USB or PCIE, since the motherboard lacks an integrated one.

This motherboard lacks a native WiFi adapter. For WiFi connectivity, you must install an external component such as a PCIe card or a USB NIC adapter. In contrast to boards that include WiFi directly:

Check for a WiFi antenna on the rear side of the board. The MSI website features a detailed image of the back panel.

I don’t have a specific preference, but I can suggest some common adapters based on typical use cases.

I've relied solely on Asus NICs over the last four years without any issues. If you need WiFi on your PC, consider a NIC with a satellite antenna so you can adjust it for better signal strength. Good options include the Asus PCE-AX58BT and the TP-Link TX3000E. For rooms with coaxial connections, MoCA adapters might be a better choice.
