Hi,
First of all my PC specs are: (Prebuilt PC)
Lenovo H520S desktop PC
Windows 8.1
1tb hard drive
8gb ram
Asus GTX 650 2gb GPU
500w PSU
I recently had a case change on my PC so that I could fit my GPU into it as it would not fit in the original case. My internet before i had a case change were fine at around 20mb/s download. After my case change my speeds dropped to either no connection or maximum 2mb/s download. I was wondering if my case change may have caused any problems? As a result of this, I thought that my signals were low around my part of the house as my phone also was a bit slower than usual so I bought a signal range booster/extender off amazon which made my internet better in the fact that it actually had full bars connection. I was happy with this because I could at least use the internet. However, when I did a speed test, the download was only around 4mb/s. My router is placed at the other end of the house which may be a factor for this but I still should get more as I was getting more before my case change. This led me to believe that my wireless card had some sort of issue with it. I just wanted to check if I was thinking along the right lines as I don't want to buy a new wireless card if that isn't the problem. Are there any other methods that I can try? This wifi issue is quite annoying as I do a lot of gaming and I can barely get a good connection to online games or even skype calls.
Any help would be appreciated as I would like to try as many methods as I can to fix this issue.
This is the wifi card I am in two minds of getting:
