Hi I recently routed a HDMI cable to a tv in the next room to be able to play my pc on my 55” Oled. I have a couple of PS5 controllers linked to steam and they use Bluetooth. Although the distance isn’t that far the signal drops out as soon as I leave the bedroom where the PC is located.

I have noticed my motherboard has two antenna type connections location on the I/O shield - would I be able to buy an antenna to plug into there move the antenna closer to my room to be able to boost the bluetooth? Or is this for Wifi only? Or would I have to buy a whole other unit external/internal Bluetooth to be able to extend my range?

Thank you

So just got a cheap usb T-Link Bluetooth 5 connector for £10 and it works plugged into the pc let alone having to route the cable... It covered the distance to the controllers in the other room. Which is not an issue as I routed the other cable under the floorboards/through the walls. I have routed it anyways to be at the centre of where my controllers will be and PC is and all works fine.
