The gigabit LAN is ethernet. The motherboard doesn't include a wifi card. 

Yes, you can add more of the same ram.

Hi,

 

I've some questions about the MSI H170M Gaming Pro:

- Does it include wifi? Or do I need to buy some kind of  wireless network adapter thing? I've looked in the website and it says this "1 x Intel® I219-V Gigabit LAN controller" but I don't know what it means. (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/H170A-GAMING-PRO.html#hero-specification)

- I bought 2x4GB DDR4 2133 MHz Memory (Ripjaws V) but now I want to buy another 2x4GB sticks of the same brand, speed... etc Will it work?

 

Also the motherboard supports up to 4 ram slots but I'm unsure if it's compatible. In PCPartPicker it says it's compatible (http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BCvh3F)

 

Ty :D

the lan controller is ethernet (cable) (wlan is wireless lan) so it does not include wifi, the ram should work

If you're formally an engineer, avoid responsibility. That's what senior engineers get paid for.

You'll need a WiFi card.
