Hi there - I think this is probably the right subforum!!

I have a gaming PC behind my TV, located quite close to be Wi-Fi router. The PC has several Bluetooth devices connected to it (mouse, keyboard, controllers). I’m using the the motherboard blutooth connection.

The sofa I play from is quite far from the TV. Occasionally, there will be some lag / bad connectivity.

Yesterday the problem came to a head when playing with multiple controllers at the same time… they kept disconnecting. Problem was solved by sitting right up by the TV on the floor but it was really annoying!

Any suggestions on how to improve this? P.s. is the location of the PC’s motherboard antenna likely to make a difference, or is that really for WiFi only? Thanks!
 
The antenna is for both WiFi and BT, so yes, it will make a difference. If you can get one of those extendable ones and then place it so it's not blocked by the TV, it should make a huge difference. My motherboard's antennas was just the simple one behind the PC too, which sits behind one of my monitors, and I had random lag with my controller if I was too far. Got an extendable and it's now under the monitor, so clear line of sight, and it's much better.
