no it doesn't. it would be listed in the specification. Motherboards with WiFi will have gold connectors where the external antenna  can be connected.

Just check the manual or the specs on the website. It would be listed there if it did.

 

If not, you have a few options:

 

1. USB wireless dongle (easiest option)

2. PCIe wireless card

3. Homeplug or powerline ethernet adapters

 

Choose which ever one suits you the most.

It'll work, but won't be as fast as other ones. Why can't you run a ethernet cable through your house<

Because it's like 25 metres away

This cable will be more than long enough.
