[SOLVED] Very short range on Bluetooth devices (Less than 20 centimeters)

[kaylarocks301]

Hi all, the title says it all, I have to stick every devices literally to my computer case and close to the Bluetooth module for them to stay connected, once I get like 20 cm away from the case, I lose connection. My Bluetooth receiver displays "Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)" in device manager. Also this is a desktop gaming PC. This is the furthest I can get from the PC case.
Things I tried:

• removed, and installed all latest Bluetooth drivers and all other drivers.
• checked services and they are all set to automatic and are running, I tried restarting them. one of them used to be stuck on manual and gave a parameter error while trying to change to automatic but I fixed it by editing it's registry.
• Checked the ports on the motherboard, it's plugged in properly, no dust or residue.
• Turned Bluetooth on and off, ran windows troubleshooter, restarted multiple times.
• Checked with multiple different devices, and kept the connection limited to 1 device at a time.
• Enabled "Allow other devices to find this PC.
• Followed all the steps in this guide.

Do you have a link to your card?

Do you have a link to your card?

I fixed it, for anyone wondering and having the same issue, it was because of an internal USB hub by NZXT, it was too close to the card, I moved it somewhere else and now it is working as it should. Thanks.
