Moveable wifi antenna [solved] (sh.itjust.works)

I got a new monitor somewhat recently, and I have noticed it causing interference with my wifi card (Ax210, not sure what brand). The wifi gets really slow (like 1/10 speed, sometimes dropping connections) when the monitor is plugged in and goes back to normal when unplugged. I've tried multiple hdmi cables but it still does it. I know you can buy antennas that can be moved, but I'm not sure where to start looking for them. Does anyone have any recommendations or info?

Edit: solution was putting aluminum foil around GPU Iowa and cable

Damn that's old school. Haven't seen those since the 00's.
