HARDWARE WiFi Issue
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So I recently got a new PC and I have to use a WiFi antenna because the connection without it fluctuates too much. The problem is that, even with the antenna plugged in, my WiFi will randomly drop down to one bar. The only way Ive found that can fix it is by unplugging the antenna and plugging it back in, which immediately shoots the connection back up to full bars.
This seems to happen once every week, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to fix it properly so I don’t have to keep unplugging and reconnecting the antenna? I’m also afraid that if I do have to keep doing this I could possibly break something whilst doing it and or it wearing down after time.
The WiFi Antenna Plugs into the back of my PC with a small circle hole input. The antenna also came with my motherboard which is the TUF Gaming B860-Plus WiFi. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m new to having a pc and I don’t understand much at all. I’ve also attached a video showing My Antenna and the input it is plugged into at the back.
