My mainboard is an msi b450 Mortar Max. Until recently, I used a pretty small gpu, which left enough space for my network adapter to fit in the pcie 3x4.

I upgraded my gpu this winter, but there was only space in the second pcie 2.0x16, which (probably) doesn't provide enough lanes. That's why wifi stopped working, and bluetooth started to become buggy.

Now I was playing around with the thought of picking up a 2in1 usb dongle, but I heard they aren't that good.

What's would be the best thing to do in this case?

Edit: The network adapter is a Gigabyte GC-WB1733DI
