My windows is asking for an ethernet cable and that is not an option. I need to connect to wireless. Can anyone help?

connect to a wifi network.
Does your computer even have wifi?

It is a custom built PC. The mobo is an Z270X Ultra Gaming

Yeah, that motherboard doesn't have built in wifi.

So you need a wireless network adapter

USB or PCIE, USB is easier to install, but PCIE is better signal quality usually)

Because I am a broke high school kid who just finished this PC, which would you recommend for under $30?

if you have a wifi adaptore now you need to disable the onboard ethernet ports.
