Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice about my boyfriend's PC connectivity issues. He recently bought it from his brother, and we live in a sublet underneath our landlord's home, where the router is located upstairs. The landlord has a WiFi extender, but it's up there too, making it almost useless for us. There are two networks available: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. My boyfriend can connect to the 2.4GHz network, but it's incredibly laggy and takes ages to load pages. I play games on my console and don't have any issues connecting to either network. So, what can we do to improve our WiFi situation? I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to tech, so any help would be appreciated! Should we look into getting a WiFi extender for our downstairs space, or does he need a better WiFi card for his PC? Thanks in advance!

A good solution would be to buy a USB WiFi adapter that supports 5GHz. These adapters are relatively easy to set up and can help you get a stable connection.

You could also consider options like the TP-Link Archer TX20UH. It's a dual-band WiFi 6 card that should enhance your connection if it's compatible with his PC.
Thanks for the suggestion!
