It's an USB module. Quite likely optional addon. Shematics says HFL-W2
which is a realtec WIFI 150MBps module, but it's USB so pretty much any
USB PCB module can fit there.

I would not count on it being included by default. It is NOT mounted on
the pictures available in the shop, or mentioned in any descriptions.

I would guess that this fits nicely:

from the pictures it looks like it may be easy to solder an external
antenna to the module, but not sure. Not much details in specifications.

Yes the LCD LVDS connector is quite documented.
