Got my self a pc while back, recently found out about the antennas cuz my wifi was not cool 👎
Anyways I think i installed them right but i don’t see any difference, actually a kinda worse for download speed, anything I’m missing?

Are you using the wifi where you plugged in the antenna

calm marlin Dec 17, 2024, 6:24 AM

#

I think so

#

I plugged it in the back of my pc

Also antennas are not everything they can't make your computer recive more than the router can get to you. Meaning if the router only gets you 10Mbps and your PC can get 10Mbps without the antenna plugging in an antenna wont cause a speed up.

I get 120 Mbps on my phone near my pc.

#

Okay then look at the MB's manual

#

Check if it has anything to say

Where does one see

little musk Dec 17, 2024, 6:26 AM

#

On the website of the MB's manifacturer

#

I can't tell you which that is or where on the website youll find it

#

Because that is different for everyone

Are you connected to 2.4ghz or the 5ghz band on the computer?

#

And what wifi card and router/ap is this?
