Welcome to the “club”. Use extenders / external antennas. Alas, the RF interference from APU under load apparently messes up WiFi and Bluetooth. I don’t know how this got past the QA. Anyway, it’s a known problem for Beelink SER8 (and apparently SER7 as well)

The SER9 pro AI 370HX with the radeon M890 gfx is the best for gaming, if not, the SER9 with the H255 processor is similar to my SER8 (the H255 is basically a rebranded Zen 4, 8745HS). The biggest downside to any of the Mac Mini clone Beelinks in their fantastic looking metal casings is the poor wif

The issue with Intel has been them losing the fabrication war to TSMC. TSMC is where Nvidia and AMD get their chips made. The nail on the coffin for Intel mobile what's the addition of performance cores and their ridiculously high maximum turbo power wattage. Higher wattage on a less efficient fabri

Unfortunatley this is one of the flaws of the otherwise great SER8. Beelink does have an antenna kit you can get from them to try to update it. Other options: External wi-fi 7 USB card Use a MoCA adapter to connect it via coax -> ethernet I hate using wi-fi for fixed placements PCs so I'm using MoCA

I don't think it's "the case blocking the signal", instead, the APU under load produces electromagnetic interference that disrupts both WIFI and Bluetooth. On my Beelink SER8 both my mouse (Bluetooth) and my wireless keyboard (2,4 GHz dongle) start dropping connection once I start playing games that

I don't think it's "the case blocking the signal", because even external 2,4GHz dongle is affected. Instead, I think the APU under load produces electromagnetic interference that disrupts both WIFI and Bluetooth. On my Beelink SER8 both my mouse (Bluetooth) and my wireless keyboard (2,4 GHz dongle)

My Aoostar and is a metal case (same exact case as yours) antenna is attached to case, I have zero range issues with BT or wifi. If its Aoostar, just assume they did everything right. The motherboard on my aoostar Maco 8945 is top notch and my minisforum uses the same motherboard in their UM880 8845

Thank you, I'll have a look! I was also considering beelink ser8 but saw that it had some wifi/bluetooth issues and reatan a8 oculink but had issues with overheating

Yeah, the Beelink SER8 that I have doesn't have the right ports, but I know there's a way to add one which is a bit involved and I'd rather not do. But thanks!
