Here are some illustrations: it can also curve further away from the vertical position past 90 degrees.
Did it move lower in the initial shot so it sits neatly against the base? I’m really focused on this and want it perfectly aligned.
I mostly exceed my ISP's speed limit on all devices, which seems fine. Someone mentioned the core is magnetic, so it could be mounted on the side of the case if required.
I hope more motherboard antennas look like this one. They fit better into the cable paths, and placing them at the back of the device helps improve the signal quality. That’s probably why Bluetooth feels weaker on my new setup compared to my older one.
Absolutely, you should place the antenna in front for Bluetooth to function properly on your gaming PC. It seems the TV and case are obstructing the signal. I’m curious if the ASUS antenna supports WiFi6E—this would clarify why yours is the older model with just the AX201 chip. It looks like new models aren’t being advertised on eBay yet.
