Bluetooth 2.1 is SUPER outdated. I would try to get a bluetooth adapter with at least BT 4, preferably 5. That way it will work better with bluetooth headphones and the like.
I think a better choice would be something like this, though it doesn't have to be exactly that one.
You could choose a USB model, but I've had problems with the range on those. If you can install a card (which is really, really easy) then this is the better way to go.

I just bought this name brand one, did I overpay or should I keep what I have?

It's just one of a myriad of WiFi adapters in which some no-name Chinese company takes an Intel AX200 module and slaps it on a PCIe x1 board alongside a couple antennas. In all honesty the company selling the card doesn't matter all that much, just as long as you see "AX200" somewhere in there. You could buy a substantially identical card from EDUP, Cudy, Fenvi, OKN, or a billion others.
That said, if you want actual customer service after the purchase then you'd be better served buying one from an established company like TP-Link.

An ethernet cord would be the best option, but if you need WiFi go with a wireless network card for like $40.

Looks generally good to me.

If you're alright with using up a PCIE slot this is pretty damn solid.
1 points • podboi
IIRC that's for both the bluetooth and wifi so you have to plug it in. There's also a model that doesn't have it extended like what I initially linked.

1070 is a great card, here’s is a link to a WiFi card

You could just run a really long 50ft/100ft cat6 cable. I did that and just ran it through the corners of my ceiling up to my room. If thats not an option you could get a pcie wifi adapter like this one

Did you attach the external wifi antennae to the back of your PC? If not, do that. If it doesn't have any... you don't have built in wifi. A cheap add-in PCIe wifi card (like this)will fix that.
If you DO have onboard wifi and you DID screw in the antennae.. try plugging in your PC to the network and letting it update all the drivers and do a couple reboot/update cycles, then try wifi again. If still no luck you'll have to open the case and make sure the cables are solidly connected from the wifi antenna jacks to the wifi card on the motherboard.

A better transmitter would certainly improve the signal and likely stop the stuttering.
I wouldn't recommend buying a usb one however as they generally tend to be quite cheaply made. I'd say this is a good option since you have a desktop.

TP-Link Archer TX50E AC3000 Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 PCIe Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Network-PCIE-Wifi-6-Card/dp/B089FCX3C3/
Uses Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 chipset. WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.1 combined. Pretty solid Wi-Fi card that I also use.

Could you please explain what PCIE 4.0 does? An is that the major difference between the B450 and the B550? I was also told to get a WiFi card TP-Link WiFi 6 AX3000 PCIe WiFi Card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089FCX3C3 ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_i7xxFb1S2FJGQ Would that fit on the B550? And those that monitor come with built in speakers or will I need to get my own speakers?

You probably need to buy some piece of additional hardware, like this if you want just Bluetooth or this if you also want WiFi

> I would say that it is an entry level router.
You would be very right. it's also pretty old now
> hooking the old one directly into my pc to act as an adapter/reciever/relay point. Is that possible to do or am I making stuff up?
it's called wireless bridge mode, and it is very possible. However it is such an old device it will be slow. It would be better to get A PCIe addon card with wifi
such as this one and I also recommend getting this antenna to replace the included antennas for much better connection.

Powerline adapters?
Why not get a Wi-Fi adapter like this (USB), this (PCI-E), or this (M.2)?
1 points • GetOperational
When looking at wifi/bluetooth adapters the main options are:
intel - if you want the new shiny thing and bluetooth is important, this may be the least bad option
qualcomm/atheros - tends to sell to oems like laptop makers, no bt5 yet, somewhat older tech but tends to be stable. best option for access points
broadcom - depending on the device the driver situation can be bad, avoid
When picking an adapter there is usually a tradeoff between newness and how tested the driver is. so if you go for a new adapter maybe look for user reviews that confirm it works with the particular device (ie: bt game controller) you are planning to use.
For "wifi6" aka "the one with 802.11ax and bluetooth 5", the most common adapter is the intel ax200.
These are usually either built into a motherboard on a laptop/desktop, or come as a small card that goes into a laptop, you can install one in a desktop with a pcie adapter card.
Also, virtually any bluetooth adapter you will find is going to be usb, if you get a pcie card it will likely have a usb cable you plug into a usb header on your motherboard, even boards that have embedded bluetooth will show the adapter as usb. I assume there is some historical reason for this.
Most wifi6 cards available now just take that intel laptop adapter, throw it in on a pcie card, then put their own branding on it. Some examples:
edup
ubit
asus1 asus2
tplink1 tplink2
example if you wanted to buy the card and adapter separately:
wifi adapter
pcie card to hold it
If I had to buy one of those right now I would probably lean toward the red tplink model just because the external antenna will yield better reception, and the philips screws on the heatsink indicate it might be easy to replace the wifi adapter when in the future when wifi7 shows up.
That said, I haven't used any of those devices personally. They all use the same radio so they should functional similarly.
