I recently upgraded my graphics card from a 4070 TI to a 5070 TI to future-proof my setup. Along with that, I'm moving the 4070 to another PC and selling the 5070, which is weaker. However, ever since I made the switch, my WiFi speeds have dropped to below 1 Mbps despite having gigabit internet. Here are my specs: B2-SN57500-WT0, Western Digital WD BLUE SN570 NVMe M.2 500GB, BP-1000GM0-MS0, MSI MPG A1000G PCIE 5, BG-4070C12-GB6, Gigabyte RTX 5070, BR-3200320-TF0, TEAM T-FORCE VULCAN Z 32GB, AMD RYZEN 7 5800X, and ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS AC-HES. I'm at a loss on how a graphics card upgrade could affect my WiFi performance. Any suggestions? This is my first time upgrading my PC, as both of my setups were prebuilt.

I had a similar issue once! Performing a hard power cycle really helped me out. Just unplug everything, wait a few minutes, and then plug it back in. After that, check your antenna connections—you might need to reseat them. Let me know how it goes!
Glad to hear the hard power cycle improved your speeds to 20 Mbps! While that's better, it sounds like you're still not getting the full potential of your gigabit connection. Have you checked for any software updates or driver updates for your network adapter?
Have you checked if you accidentally knocked an antenna loose while installing the new card? Also, did you try a hard power cycle to see if that helps? Are you using Windows or Linux for your OS?
