Q: Does this motherboard come with onboard WiFi inside the motherboard? not USB adapter or PCIE adapter WiFi and does this motherboard support an i5 8400 processor?

A: The Wifi antenna has a dedicated output at the top of the board. It is not USB or PCIE. The i5 8400 should work as the board is made for the lga1151 socket set. Mine is fitted with the 8086k so I can’t speak to its performance with that particular chip.
