...this system does not come stock with WiFi. Lacking a visible antenna would mostly confirm that.

Unless you are confortable opening the tower and installing a WiFi card, the simplest answer is to connect the PC to the router with an Ethernet cable.





If you really need wireless, get a USB to WiFi adapter. This one looks good:
