Wi-Fi Help! [Solved]

[addarcia]

Hi all,

I recently built my first PC, and I’m looking to upgrade the Wi-Fi it emits (as a hotspot). I’m currently using the antenna that came with the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (which I understand also helps with bluetooth connectivity), but it’s feeble in comparison to the iMac I used to use. What are my upgrade options?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply!

That is exactly why — ease. My Virgin hub sits at the other end of my house, and I'm connected by a powerline adapter. Is there a wireless access point you'd recommend?

I'm sure it isn't the positioning; I've had it everywhere, including sitting atop my PC case. The signal certainly improves, but it's still fairly weak (compared to what I'm used to).

With humility I have to report that it was I who was defective (though not in terms of its positioning). The network band I was using (or rather, the band it defaulted to) was 5GHz; after switching it to 2.4GHz, I’ve enjoyed the range I was after. Nonetheless, thanks for the help @WJA96! Much appreciated. And apologies for the late response.
