I just bought a new PC, based on Lenovo Legion gaming desktop. It comes with 2 USB port in the front, 4 regular USB port in the back + 1 USB-C port. That’s a total of 7 USB slots.

It’s been like 2 decades that every possible hardware device comes with an USB interface. Keyboard, mouse, joystick, hard-drive, memory stick, headset, webcam, spot/photo camera, and many others.

Of course it’s my fault, I should have thought about USB connectors when shopping for a new PC and check before buying. but seriously, 7 USB slots is so few compared to all the device I have using USB

    A WiFi antenna doesn’t plug into a USB port, it screws directly into the WiFi card. Or do you mean you have a USB WiFi card, instead of an internal one?

      One of my PCs didn’t come with wifi on the motherboard so wifi is through an USB antenna, nothing unusual with that…

        It’s not a USB antenna, though. It’s a USB WiFi card with an antenna attached.

          Ok buddy, you might be technically right, doesn’t mean it’s not annoying when people like you pretend to not understand what people are talking about just to correct them.

            I’m not pretending to not understand. I original post was a question because I couldn’t tell whether OP was saying he had an external WiFi card.

      Could be one of those adapters with an antenna attached, so it looks like one big antenna.
