I recently set up my new PC after moving in with my grandpa, but I'm struggling with a really poor internet connection. I had been using ethernet at home, but here I'm relying on Wi-Fi, and it's not great at all. I attached the antenna that came with the PC, but the internet is still lagging. Oddly enough, my Xbox and phone are both working perfectly fine. Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve the connection for my PC? Thanks! I'll share some photos in the comments.

You might need to change the Wi-Fi channel on your router if there are a lot of networks around. Interference can be a pain! Check the router settings and see if you can switch it to a less crowded channel.
It's also good to check if there are any network settings you might have missed. Ensure your Wi-Fi adapter drivers are up to date. That can make a huge difference!
Have you tried moving the PC closer to the router? Sometimes, distance can really affect the Wi-Fi signal. If that's not possible, you could also consider using a Wi-Fi extender to boost the signal.
That makes sense! I’ll try moving it closer and see if that helps.
I’ll look into updating the drivers. Thanks for the tip!
