The term wifi refers to wireless networking, but some motherboards support both wifi and ethernet. To distinguish between them, check your motherboard’s specifications or consult the manufacturer’s guide.
Typically, a motherboard with built-in Wi-Fi is mentioned in its name. It usually includes a Wi-Fi chip integrated into the board and provides antennas for improved signal. If the product doesn’t list Wi-Fi in the name and there’s no mention of it on the website or manual, it likely doesn’t have it. Most motherboards come with at least one type of port.
Ethernet uses a wired connection, while WiFi is a wireless option. Not every device comes with WiFi built-in.
Only a few support this feature. It seems you're too young to recall an era when WiFi needed extra PCI or USB add-ons. Modern motherboards often list clear signs like "WIFI" or "Gaming-AC" in their specs, while wireless functionality is managed by a dedicated adapter connected via M.2.
