I only see 3 RP-SMA connectors on the images I can find.  And yes, they provide a 802.11ac WiFi card with such board.  So you could probably use this as a wireless connection if your operating system supports the card.

 

You might still need to hard-wire it to Ethernet to get onto Windows Update to download the drivers for the card.  Unless you use the driver disk (which Linus tells everyone to throw away immediately) that came with the motherboard.

what do u mean by hard-wire it to ethernet

If you don't have a CD-ROM to put the CD that came with the motherboard (if there were any), you need to connect to the internet with a network cable to get the correct drivers for the wireless network card.

so that means if i dont have a disk drive to play the disk id have to hook it up to a Ethernet cord to set up the wireless internet?

Yes, unless Windows 10 has the drivers for the card built-in, or otherwise slipstreamed into it.
