At my new apartment, there is no way to make a hardline connection via ethernet, so i must use the Wifi receiver that is built into my desktop (I believe it is part of the MOBO) in order to get Wifi connection; However, I find that the connection is extremely poor, and cuts in/out randomly. My surface Pro laptop has absolutely zero issues keeping a good connection, even though it is usually only 1-2 feet away from my desktop. My cell phone similarly always gets good wifi connection.
I've found this device and similar ones on amazon; https://www.amazon.com/USB-WiFi-Com...ds=wifi+receiver+for+pc&qid=1631292351&sr=8-4
I am wondering if using one would give me a better/more consistent Wifi connection on my desktop. I also do not know if my desktop would be able to use this to process the Wifi signal, or if it would always default to using the built-in wifi receiver.
If needed, I can provide more information about my desktop/wifi receiver/ISP if it would help at all. My current situation makes schoolwork almost impossible (save for having my surface pro).
