Hello! Your setup is great so far. Since your internet isn’t reachable through Ethernet, consider using a reliable WiFi adapter or a USB Wi-Fi dongle. Make sure it supports the speed you need for smooth connections.

What network connection do you use? A 2x2 access point is currently available, Intel usually leading the market, so something like this link works: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GC-Wbax2...490&sr=8-6

I’d recommend a USB port as the best option. Since your GPU is taking up space, you’ll need something compact. Your WiFi signal is weak at 15 feet, so a wired connection would be more reliable. I’m hoping this helps with finding a fast, affordable USB connector for you!

Do you have another slot available? What's your build like? PCIe is superior to USB if you're able to.

I understand this solution functions effectively, having applied it in several projects. It also supports Bluetooth 5.0 if needed.

You might secure a free PCIe riser cord that fits the adapter, guides it past the graphics card, and then secures it in the case opening.

Your GPU is 4 slots wide. You can only fit a Wi-Fi card in the bottom four slots.

My GPU is covering the main one that’s installed, and the PCIe X1 is the only one visible, as shown in the picture. What I mean is because the fans on the GPU are facing there obviously, and since there’s limited space, I’m concerned about airflow. Or if I install a WiFi card there, it might get too hot.

It's tough to understand what you're describing without a visual of your internal setup. However, I've faced comparable challenges with some compact PC builds, and using a PCIe riser cable or extension helped resolve the issue as others recommended.
