My network card is a TP-Link PCI wireless card with two antennas.

 

The card doesn't want to pick up my internet signals properly and i did get a solution by putting my PC on it's side and make the card in a different slot and not move at all.

 

When i move the PC or the card at all the connect is lost, I assume it's the antennas (I hope) but if it's not then i would have to buy a new card to diagnosis it better.

Check the antennas connections to the card, and try updating/downgrading its drivers.

That's the thing, Move the antennas and i'm screwed. And this card doesn't use drivers.

how far are you away from your router? sounds like ur stealing wifi two streets away lol

check which channel ur broadcasting on see if any other routers are interfering with ur signal

use a app name Wifi Analyzer to check https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en

change ur channel on ur router if necessary

Not even 100 feet from my router as it's just on the other side of my house downstairs. (Not basement mind you i live on the top floor) 

 

My card worked totally fine before like i think 3 - 4 days ago then it went down the drain in quality because it took forever to open anything.

 

Edit: I must also add that it's not my Router it's my network card on my PC. my laptop is fine my phone is fine. it's just my PC's card.

still try changing the channel

or if that doesnt work out use a cheap usb Adapter like tp-link tlwn22n http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN722N-Wireless-Adapter-External/dp/B002SZEOLG

i can pick up signals from 2 streets away with that ;)

So i basically have to get a new Wireless card? Because it seems to me that my card doesn't want to work with me. Thanks for helping me come to this conclusion.
