So does it? And if so how good is the on board wifi? If its not that great should I just go for a PCI Wifi adapter thingy?

 

And for the people who are going to say "ETHERNET 4 LYFE"

 

I cant run an ethernet cable from the basement to the upper floor of my house, Just cant happen.

 

Thanks

No it does not have wifi, amazon made a mistake.

The G45 z87 board does have it, but not the z97. Some people got confused by this thinking that the z97 board they were buying has wireless.

You can see on the manufactueres website it is not listed under specifications.

This motherboard **DOES NOT** come with wireless AC, Bluetooth 4.0, or Intel WiDi as advertised by the manufacturer. Both MSi and Amazon have been notified and a ticket has been placed to change the specifications. Amazon did assist us with our purchase to make it right which we appreciated! This is a very nice motherboard!
