Hi,

From what I found, the 9th gen chips from intel have Wifi integrated with them.
So does it mean I can use Wifi without a Wifi Adapter? If so how can I enable it. I installed my i5 9600k but still couldn't figure out how to do it.
I'm sorry if I get anything wrong.

Thanks,

It isn't the CPU that has WiFi on it, it is chipsets like the Z390 that have partial WiFi implemented into them. Still requires a bunch of additional support components on the motherboard and antenna if the motherboard manufacturer decides to implement the feature on a given motherboard.

I have MSI mpower Z77 mobo with i7-3770K. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capable, via the motherboard, not the cpu. Bios has Bluetooth enable/disable since it's part of the pcie buss system, but Wi-Fi is controlled by Windows Network, totally separate from the cpu.
