With this MOBO would I need a wifi adapter? And how do you find out if it does?

If you start here w/ Intel MoBos, you can scroll down the left hand column for "Wireless LAN"
Then go down the same column for chipset and check H97 under "Intel 9 series"
That will give ya a list of all MoBos newegg has that meet that criteria (1 from Gigabyte, 1 from MSI and 1 from Asrock
The one you picked does not list WiFi as one of it's features. If you want WiFi you will need to add a card.

Better to just get a wifi USB adapter. They work better than the ones built into the MB in general.

I haven't used a LAn adapter of any kind in this millenium....much rather have on board than have to use a MoBo slot. I keep a USB one in the office in case something dies, but USB limits performance.... but after 14 years, the adapter is still in the box and still shrink wrapped. Then again, for reliability and performance, I'd would much rather run a cable than use WiFi.

No argument that a dedicated Ethernet cable to a LAN port is far more stable and secure for a network connection.
However, I do all my computing over WiFi these days, and it is fine. The AC1200 adapters are all USB 3.0, and do not limit performance.

No, it doesn't. The cheapest Asus motherboard that offers integrated wifi sold on Newegg would be this model:

As someone suggested, it would be cheaper to just buy a $10-20 WiFi USB stick to stick into your computer... or buy a wireless card if you want it to be internal.

Well there is the Asus "logo premium"
The MSI or Gigabyte Gaming 5 boards have has every feature, comparable or better components,, they both significantly outperform the Hero in Gaming and are $80 cheaper.
The competition from Asrock, Gigbayte and MSI offerings in the link above cost $80 - $110 and all have WiFi.
USB tends to suffer from limited range and lag issues in AAA games with large data transfers
