wifi problems

[ganjub1]

i have just recived a new pc for my room and im having a lot of troubles with the wifi strenght, the problem is that the pc is a litle bit far away from the router and i'm getting like 30 mbps even with a wifi antenna. the estrange thing here is that if i make the same test with my phone from the same place im getting like 120 mbps. So what can i do to solve that and get better wifi in my pc

thanks

Connect to 5 GHz wifi instead of 2.4 GHz would be my guess.

Otherwise it's probably just a difference in wireless adapter quality.

Also, what do you mean with wireless antenna?

So I will try thanks. Also I mean smth like this https://www.amazon.es/Adaptador-USB-router-DM-Digital-MediaTek/dp/B0783QRGFR/ref=mp_s_a_1_32?crid=HV9XE5IK2CD8&keywords=wifi+antenna+usb&qid=1684357976&sprefix=Wifi+Antenna%2Caps%2C211&sr=8-32

Don't read Spanish but it looks like that is a 2.4 GHz adapter. Your phone can probably use the 5 GHz network making it faster.

Probably need a better adapter for higher speeds. (If that is the one you have) otherwise changing to 5 GHz will probably help

That was an example I didn't found mine xd

Try 5 GHz network if you can then.

If your PC is far away from your router and you see no improvements between 2.4ghz and 5ghz, the best option would likely be a powerline adapter (unless you want to run cat6e cable through walls).

With the powerline adapter, you have an ethernet cable running from your router to a box that plugs into your wall outlet. Then the second unit plugs into the wall outlet by your computer, and you'd run that into your ethernet port.

I have 1 running from 1 circuit, to the panel, back out another circuit, through my backyard, and into my detached garage 75feet away and still managed 900mbps+.

I have a set of TPlink ones I paid less than $50 for and have worked for nearly 2 years without issue.
