B650 plus wifi gaming has slower wifi than all my other computers

[mellow inlet]

Hello guys, i'm kinda new to this i have the MSI motherboard B650 PLUS WIFI GAMING with the RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E 160MHz, i have a problem with my internet speed on this computer which is slower than my macbook or phone in terms of mbp/s ( i have a 500mpbs on other device but limited to 200max on the computer with the MSI, my question is, is my bp650 wifi plus made to support 5ghz wifi or why my internet is so slow compared to my two others computer.

ive done many things cleanboot, turned off power management, Reset TCP/IP Configuration, installed drivers from a website that gave me the newest drivers (saw on reddit that microsoft don’t find new drivers automatically so they linked it there)… etc etc

Nothing works im so disappointed it’s a new gpu new pc… i can’t do many things because of it i wish someone helps me, i don’t know who to contact…

It's possible that the antennas are not getting proper signal due to some things being between them and your wifi router

Besides - 200mbps is still pretty good speed for almost everything however it is recommended to use Ethernet cable

i bought an ethernet cable and have now 950mbps

i don’t know what blocks my wifi id still like to fix it if in the future i where to put my conputer somewhere else in my house

where are the antennas in the computer ?

my computer is next to my router on the computer table..

Supposedly come in a box with your motherboard and you can install them on the back side of motherboard IO

Cool, but your case is metal, perfect to block 5g signals

Attached is a photo of the antennas.

wait i never had the antena

what are the ez chip for ?

you might have solved my problem here i don’t have antennas at all

[eager moon]

They go on the MB to hold down SSDs that look like this.

u should mount antennas at the back

they

[eager moon]

As it was mentioned above, they do not come attached, they would be in the MB box.

are cheap af tho so

yes this ive done it in my build

yes i will

i think it’s the reason for my weak wifi

guys i would have never thought of it without you

thank you so much

ive changed everything in my parameters for days and was depressed

thx

i hope it will finally go fast (i still have an ethernet cable but if i want to move ill be sure to have fast wifi since we have fixed the problem

[mossy comet]

Your reason being no proper antennas or you need to change to ethernet preferably

[mellow inlet]

the ethernet works fine i have 900mbs on it

it’s just no antenas the problems i guess

that’s my first pc build so…

[mossy comet]

The module itself without any kind of antennas especially if it's intended to be used with antennas is going to have quite bad signal + it's most likely being blocked by the case or even motherboards vrm/heatsinks xd

I also wanted to add that the antennas are not just wifi, but bluetooth as well. If you try to connect a bluetooth device and do not get a signal or don't see anything under list of devices, you will know why.

ohhhhh

my gaming controller have a hard time connecting lollll

that’s why
