I possess the strongest Wi-Fi in my home (wireless connection), but my laptop struggles to connect. This problem has persisted for several months. My typical speed at two signal levels is between 3 and 10 Mbps, with intermittent drops that are becoming increasingly frustrating. Nearby devices operate smoothly at four bars. I've experimented with numerous solutions—scanning for malware, altering DNS settings, resetting network cards in Windows 11, adjusting control panel settings, updating drivers, performing a factory reset, and more. Despite these efforts, the issue remains unresolved. Any advice or insights on this matter would be invaluable. Hardware details: GPU – AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT, CPU – 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11400, RAM – 32 GB, Storage – 465 GB.

Did you place the antennas on your Wi-Fi card or motherboard?

However, it seems the setup should include antennas for Wi-Fi, either via an add-on card or directly on the motherboard, which is included with the required accessory.

Based on what was discussed, most motherboards that include a wireless card usually come with an external antenna either directly connected to the card or via a cable. If yours wasn’t included or is missing, reach out to the manufacturer to check availability or arrange a purchase.
