wireless network adaptor is more commonly known as WI-FI adaptor.
your manual will tell you if your board has it or not : https://www.manualslib.com/products/Asus-Maximus-Ix-Hero-8657999.html

It's just a piece of hardware that'll let you connect to the internet through the Wi-Fi just as you'd do with a smartphone, but using your PC instead.

No, it does not. ( or at least i couldn't find it in this page https://www.asus.com/br/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-IX-HERO/specifications/ )

as far as I'm aware your motherboard doesn't have one
a wireless network adaptor is just something that allows you to connect to the internet without a direct connection like ethernet

spoiler alert: some may actually have a wire like a usb cable so that you can place it somewhere to receive the best connection to your router
