(yes I know it has a stupid name, but also very good price/perf)

MSI's website lists wifi (under specs>detail) as "optional" but then also says a bunch of specs about it's wifi capabilities. And yet I couldn't find any other versions of this mobo. So does it actually have a wifi module? Does it depend on region? Please help, if it has wifi then this would be really worth it over the MSI B150I GAMING PRO AC

Owner of said motherboard here. While I have no need for its WiFi capabilities it does support 1 M.2 device, which can be a WiFi card. That you have to buy separately. I recommend it by the way, the amount of features you get for the price is quite good - things like an additional LED header and USB 3.1. For example I think the B150M PRO GAMING from ASUS is competing at this price point and does not possess these gimmicks.

Just curious, you bought the WiFi card which came with the montage behind the motherboard or it was just card alone?
Because I saw on the manual that there is a montage possible or it's included in the mobo box?.
Cheers. :)
