Household Wifi Coverage
Hi, We've recently moved into a flat and joined VM on the M150 plan. The coverage from the router is fine for some of the rooms, but as soon as we go into the kitchen and the adjoining room we plan ...

Your best option is an Ethernet wired Wireless Access Point. This can be located in the same location as your devices. ‘Boosters’ don’t boost, they just extend the range of the WiFi signal and should be placed mid way between the source, the VM hub, and the target device.
Thanks Tudor - are those the plug-ins that use the mains connection? I might have a couple of those somewhere so will dig them out. From memory you plug one in next to router and ethernet to it, and then one in the nearest socket to the device you're attempting to connect, and ethernet directly into that - is that correct?
You are talking about Powerline Adapters which use the mains for connecting to the Hub and themselves. The best solution, as suggested by Tudor, is to run an ethernet cable from the Hub to the offending room and use this to connect a Wireless Access Point. Be aware cables can be run externally, not just through the house. This type of solution is by far the best, personally I have 3 of these around my house.
