For multiplayer gaming you really want a Ethernet connection instead of wifi. Generally a motherboard makes little direct impact on gaming performance, its all about the functions you want and the build quality and BIOS stability. Do you want to overclock your CPU, run higher speed RAM, M2 support, USB 3.1?

sizzling pretty much answered your question. Motherboards generally don't impact in-game FPS, unless you plan on overclocking your CPU. Some motherboards are better geared for overclocking: better power delivery, VRMs, etc.

Adding to sizzling's answer, some of the things you could consider are:
-# of SATA ports (if you plan on connecting a lot of storage: HDD's, SSD's, etc.)
-if it has SATA express
-# of fan headers (if you plan on installing PWM controlled case fans)
-Aesthetics (if you're going for color combination, LED's, etc)

As for the wifi capabilities, if you really can't run an ethernet cable to your PC, you can always put in a wireless adapter (through your PCI slots or through USB, I'd personally go with PCI based wireless adapters if I can't run ethernet cables). Here's a photo of a wireless adapter:
