    You needs at lease -65dBm for a wifi signal. The smaller the better btw.  A good signal would be around -40 or less.  It sounds like your TV box needs to be cabled.  VM do not supply Ethernet cabling, this will need to be supplied and fitted by yourself or a local electrician. Alternatively use a powerline adapter to get a cabled connection using your power sockets.

    What box do you have and is the 360 box connected by coax and the TV  rubbish on non streaming TV, or is it just the apps. Do you have a streaming box.

    internet not bad but the tv service is rubbish
