I might buy a Lynx Ultimate. I was wondering if I needed to buy a Wi-Fi adapter in order to connect to the internet, or if Wi-Fi is already built in. Currently i’m not going to be using Ethernet. Thanks!

Your mobo says this:

1 x M.2 Socket (Key E), supports type 2230 Wi-Fi/BT and Intel CNVi (Integrated Wi-Fi/BT) module*
* The Wi-Fi/BT module is purchased separately

I'm ethernet hardwired. Everyone I've heard of here just gets a USB dongle and they're fine.

Hope it helps.

Definitely do not waste an M.2 NVME Drive motherboard port on Wi-Fi... As Cretae says, just get a USB Wi-Fi dongle and plug it in to a free USB port to connect to Wi-Fi.   They are very inexpensive.
