My main work PC has a usb wifi dongle and when performing any internet speed tests, always underperforms compared to my other devices. I use it because there's no room on the motherboard for a proper network card.
Just moved country and temporarily staying with my mother who has a router with a very weak signal, so I'm barely getting one mbps (other devices get around 10). I'm about 15 feet from the router and on the floor above it.
Here's my current dongle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Archer-T2U-Wireless-Supports-10-7-10-13/dp/B00K11UIV4
So my question is (on top of getting a router upgrade) will a better dongle, perhaps with an antenna, help the signal? or are they all pretty much the same?
