It might depend on where you are. The situation seems to suggest you're near the boundary of your Wi-Fi signal strength in that setting.
I believe it's the ASUS antenna you can relocate, though it often tips easily. Verify there are no obstacles obstructing its view of the router, except for the wall.
The motherboard's WiFi adapter uses WiFi 6E, likely built around the Intel AX210. Consider these points: Are there any barriers near the PC case? Is it positioned against a wall? Are the antennae unobstructed? Could nearby electronics be interfering? Since the router is in another room, imagine a straight line between it and your PC—what path does the signal take? What model is this router? What wireless settings are active on it? Is your PC connected to the 2.4GHz or 5GHz network? How crowded is the area with other wireless signals? Use WiFiman to check both 2.4GHz and 5GHz performance.
Move it away from the wall. Are the antenna securely connected? If there is an independent antenna module, try putting it in a different position or orientation, preferably away from the wall and PC case. That can significantly attenuate the signal, especially on 5GHz. Log into the unit's webUI and look for the settings. Where is this Telstra router located? Can it be moved away from walls, shelves or any form of obstruction and placed in a more open area, preferably high up? Did you see this for yourself on the spectrum analysis? There were no other overlapping wireless signals from neighbours?
Many WiFi issues stem from poor positioning of the wireless AP/router or client antennas. If you can't adjust them, your performance will be greatly affected. Could you share the spectrum analysis so we can review the signal strength?
Use a standard solution to address a blocked radio signal. With screw-on antennas, connect them via extension cables or separate antennas with their own stands and cables—this is usually the simplest approach. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, try alternatives. Edited August 16, 2022 by Bombastinator
