WiFi antennas leading to issues
Hello, I own an MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC Mobo. When I install the WiFi antennas, internet speeds drop significantly, almost impossible to use. I've adjusted their placement and position without improvement. Removing the antennas makes the connection much faster. Previously, I was getting 15-20 MB/s, now it's only 1-2 MB/s.
It's unusual to have more without than with. Could the antennas be faulty? Outside sources might be causing interference. A protocol switch would also matter—this could require hardware adjustments. There are various types; some are much more focused than others. Stick antennas are omnidirectional. Antennas come in different shapes: plates, Yagi, or even cantennas. Cantennas are interesting—they’re made from Pringle cans and other parts.
