Need WiFi along within the budget?

Placing PC on table or floor?
Any physical dimension constraint at your PC holding area?

Will your monitor screen position be facing any bright light source like window?

Which internet provider plan and router are you using?
Is your home in a relatively new apartment built in the past 8 years?
How far is your upcoming PC located from the router?
Any obstruction between your PC and router?
