I'm having some serious issues with my WiFi connection between my PC and the router. Sometimes, I lose internet completely and my connection drops intermittently. I also compared my router connection to my phone's hotspot, and the hotspot is more stable, but there are still some lingering issues. With my current setup using a TP-Link PCI Express TL-WN881ND and the router being about 10 meters away (with a brick wall in between), do you think it's worth investing in a new WiFi card? Are there any specific models you would recommend?

The brick wall isn't doing you any favors! Have you tried updating your WiFi card drivers? Sometimes that can make a difference. But honestly, I suspect your current card might be okay; there could be other issues affecting the connection more than the card itself.
I have all my drivers updated, thanks!
Yeah, the wall might not be the only issue—there could be other objects or interference around. Have you considered getting a better antenna or perhaps a separate device to boost your WiFi signal instead of just swapping out the card?
