[Bubbles]

Can someone tell me how to check if a motherboard has built in wifi?
Im sorta new to this, so i have no idea. I tried google searching too and couldnt find an answer.
I want to know if the ASUS H97M-E has built in wifi. Thanks

That motherboard does not. When a motherboard has a networking card included, if will usually say so on product pages.

Otherwise, look for one of these cards on pictures for the motherboard: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51iJnzOQmfL._SY300_.jpg

Select the text "ASUS H97M-E" copy this, enter it into a search engine of your choice and click on the link that has ASUS in the URL. Click on specifications. Read.

I think you answered your question then.

Built-in wi-fi is mostly used in mini-ITX boards for small-form-factor builds. Normal size ATX boards with wi-fi will cost $200+

It's only a real need on an ITX board since those are smaller, they only have the single PCI-E x16 slot for expansion.

On Micro or ATX; just use a PCI or PCIE Wireless LAN Card
Or you can always use a USB Wireless Adapter. But a card with external antenna is much preferred if u must go with WiFi for Desktop.
