WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PC HAS NO WIFI?

Hello,
Yesterday I bought my PC: skill orp: P11-PC gaming, and my monitor: Asus VG245 gaming monitor.
I noticed that it doesn't have Wi-Fi since the monitor indicates that I need to use a network cable and it doesn't show any Wi-Fi networks. Should I buy a Wi-Fi adapter? (If so, which one should I choose for a good connection? I have a fairly large budget.) I would appreciate a reply in the coming days if possible.
Thanks in advance :)

    Nothing to do with WIFI

    Screen
    You are correct regarding the contents of the box: Quick installation guide, Power cord
    Connectivity Details: VGA (PC)(1), HDMI 1.4(2), PC Audio Input (Jack)(1), Headphone jack(1)

    Your PC Card (+ more info): MSI GTX 1050Ti 4GT LP
    Connectivity Details: DVI-I DUAL LINK: 1, HDMI: 1, DisplayPort: 1, HDCP support

    Apparently, the easiest option is an HDMI cable
    Take the one from the TV ....

      However, if it's the internet you're looking for, that's another matter
      If the box is too far away, a wired connection seems impossible
      There are Powerline adapters that allow you to extend your Wifi network while also providing a potential Ethernet connection (cable)
      Otherwise, you can use a Wifi card
      Be careful, there are different speeds depending on ADSL or Fiber….

      An HDMI cable has never made a connection with the internet, neither wired nor wireless...

      Whether it's ADSL or Fiber, it doesn't change the Wi-Fi characteristics; the standard is the same... and you'll never get fiber speeds via Wi-Fi.

      I found it, the "skillkorp advanced skp p11" is indeed different from "skill orp :P11-PC gaming", I wasn't likely to find that out.. and it's a tower.

      Let's say that wifi is very common on laptops and hardly ever on towers... There is an RJ45 Ethernet connection... this connection easily supports 100 meters of communication, without loss with a speed of 1Gb if your SFR BOX is capable of it (check the model written on the BOX) it would definitely be the most efficient by far...

      I would say that for these applications, wifi should be avoided, depending on the distance and obstacles you'll reduce your speed... or even nothing at all depending on the days.... A basic PC would have done the job, if it's to throttle it from the start...!
