Hi! I opened this post to ask for suggestions regarding an issue that's been happening to me even since the end of october of last year.
After a trip to a friend's house, we swapped my PC's case with a smaller, more compact one so that it would take less space, weigh less, etc...
After that, I noticed, however, that my home wifi was only being detected at one or two WiFi bars at most.
My computer has always sucked QUITE BAD with WiFi in the past, often times disconnecting or saying "Connected, no internet", but this is a whole different case, it's even more unstable than ever.
My brother coined the idea it might be that my PC can only detect 2.4 GHz WiFi because he actually split our WiFi in two for the remote camera he installed, and I could only connect to that one, which supposedly IS 2.4 GHz.
And a friend of mine said it might be a "Faraday Cage" situation, if that makes sense, where the new case kind of blocks some of the signals? Not sure if I'm explaining this well enough

FYI: I use a small WiFi USB dongle, those that look like the one a bluetooth mouse would have.
I can most likely provide more details about the PC as well if needed.
My current solution is having my phone sharing WiFi via USB because my phone detects the WiFi correctly 😔
