Well assuming your computer is sitting under your desk, then might I suggest that you simply get a USB extension cable. This will allow you to move the Wifi adapter (Antenna) out into the open so that the signal is not being blocked.
Something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Desktop-SuperSpeed-USB-Extension-Cable/dp/B004WKRU7U/ref=sr_1_106?crid=3PDR305X4C0ES&keywords=usb+extension+cable&qid=1556488360&s=gateway&sprefix=usb+ex%2Caps%2C239&sr=8-106
And I like this particular extension because the "desktop" part is meant to sit on your desk and the computer doesn't need to load any drivers like it would for a typical 'USB hub'.
I'm suggesting going this route because getting a WiFi adapter that mounts into your computer case is going to have the same problems that your currently having; the antenna is hidden under your desk and is blocked by everything around it; you need to move the antenna out into the open so that it will have a chance at getting a good signal.
