That's easy, use some USB Mini Wi-Fi with antenna.
TP-Link make USB Wi-Fi 802.11ac.
I have cable Internet, somehow I used and I like more than Wi-Fi.

Mmm, that's very nice Bluetooth 4.2 + Wi-Fi 802.11ac for EVGA motherboard.
And who need could use. 
Board without RGB is nice as well.
Imagine if EVGA launch board with RGB Header and some angry fan complain that header is 4pin and not 3pin 5V addressable.
Than EVGA launch new board with addresable, digital RGB and allow customers hours to test and optimize every single LED and injoy in shine of cheap colorfull thingy, and you mean now that's it, than something else show up with topic requesting 5pin Header with RGB+White LED in same time, newest 3rd Gen of RGB.
It's tragic that motherboard companies could profit now a lot and in some situation to have advantage if they hurry and on time build newest connectors with latest lightshow standards. 
 
Maybe is that new form of PC entertainment like gaming. I can bet people could spend hours optimize every single LED diode to behave different, endless combinations of colors and effects. What you think is it RGB LED in PC danger for people with photo sensitive epileptic. Maybe should be some kind of warning on kits... Haaa
 
That's such idiotism and to be honest I scare to connect them on expensive motherboard... That's cheapest parts possible and who want to use them, only with specific controller independent from motherboard completely. Nothing connected on mobo because always there is a some small change that header become fried and melt something else and broke motherboard. I would become Enemy No#1 of RGB Industry if RGB LED fry my fan Header.

Yeah... you gotta buy your own wifi card.

You can get an Intel 7265NGW easily enough off of Amazon.   It doesn't come with the little thin antenna connectors.   That box set mentioned above comes with some (and an older wifi card), but they are very long and you gotta figure out how to route it around everything else.

The I/O shield on the rear panel conveniently... or not so... has two empty holes for mounting the antenna jacks (rp-sma?).   The wifi m2 card is just a couple inchs from those holes.   The wires in the box set are way too long to coil up in that space.   Finding a much shorter pair of cables has proven challenging.   I ordered a couple of "U.FL to RP-SMA-female Cables" that are 2" in length, which appear to match what is in that box but shorter and without the bracket.   I don't have them yet so I won't vouch for their utility just yet.   Amazon and Newegg just are not that helpful for finding these on their own.    These shorter thin antenna wires would sure be a good thing for EVGA to offer..... just sayin.
