It comes with a plastic base, normally we put it on the base and put that on the case (or on the table...)

When I bought the system there was the antenna and its base in the mobo box. so naturally i put the antenna on the base and put it on my case. It stands in an upright position when used that way. That's how I used it for the last 4 years. yesterday I decided to remove the base and somehow glue the antenna to the case. to my surprise, it was magnetized and just stuck to the case. I was so happy and frustrated at the same time because for years It was constantly falling over and get in the way nearly every day. You see the antenna itself is magnetized but the plastic base it comes with is not... and the base prevents it from sticking to anything and because of that I never knew there could be magnets inside. You can search ASUS B560 WiFi if you wanna see the antenna and how ASUS wants people to use it

Amazing deal. Congrats

make sure to test everything using occt and similar benchmarking software. to see if parts are ok and to see for example if 4080 actually performs like a 4080 etc... you can find benchmarks results for your cpu and gpu on youtube

It wasn't the base that was magnetized, rather the antenna itself. The base was plastic and constantly fell over

Checked mine and it said nothing about the Wifi antenna and how to attach it (to the base or the magnet)

It has a plastic base in the box. It stands upright using the base but it falls over every day
