Morning
New GPU blocked the lane where TP-link wifi adaptor sits
Not sure how to go about this but possibly 2 solutions without changing the hardware:
1. PCI-e riser, which i am not entirely sure about, needs to be either ribbon cable or usb connector sideways
2. USB, onboard wifi module
Has anyone faced this nightmare?
Thank you
 
New Virgin router is playing havoc with everything, perhaps because of wifi 6 or bad firmware
Ideally would need dual-band. I have tried Powerline but was not impressed
wifi extender that i am using now drops the connection pretty often and again, i believe its due to the new router
Mobo i am using is Asrock h510m-hdv/m.2, card is right over the pci, reason i was thinking if riser would be the best solution
I can see that mega-rare risers have usb slot on the side and not the top, the only one that might/should work, not entirely sure if ribbon cable would work but cant see why not
Not really considering USB adapters as they are pants
