Wifi aerial extenders?

[Rob_B]

I've dropped a Wifi 6 adapter into my PC as I wanted to try and get rid my powerline adapter as it often needs rebooting, seems to work fine but the signal with the aerials at the back of my PC juuust isn't quite good enough for a rock solid connection. I'm looking at extenders so I can move the aerial(s) to a higher position which I'm hoping helps.
Looking around do I need to get a specific kind for Wifi6 as lots mention Wifi 5 in the description?

Thanks!

I can't imagine it matters, the wifi standards are more to do with what is transmitted, whereas aerials are to do with what frequencies are used. So Wifi 6E might benefit from a different antenna, but even then WiFi uses such a wide frequency range I don't see how it can be a finely tuned system.

But that's just from theory, in practice here I have a TP-Link Deco mesh node and the PC is plugged into the gigabit ethernet interface on that. That gives me some freedom in placing the WiFi node, and make used of it as a repeater.

to reinforce that, you can hugely increase your Wifi Range (at the expense of the angle of coverage) using a cut in half pringles tube.

Wifi6 and Wifi 5 use the exact same frequency ranges so you won't do any harm using Wifi 5 antennas for a Wifi 6 system. I suppose it's theoretically possible for antennas to be better for one standard than the other but I can't think of a way that would occur. If it did I bet the difference would at most be barely measurable.
