I have a years old hub 3 router and since moving to a new house a year ago the wifi range has been consistently awful in various parts of the house. I live in a dorma bungalow so not a huge house. Router is next to tv, central to the downstairs open plan area. Black spots are the furthest points but it’s only a few meters and no thick walls or anything unusual obstructing.
Been using tp-link 4220 powerline extenders which are proving annoyingly temperamental so not a reliable solution.
Asked virgin about upgrading to hub 4 but I’m not eligible. Asked virgin to send their boosters but they have none in stock. Thanks Brexit!
Virgin are sending a replacement hub 3 but I’m not holding my breath that will fix it.
Is my best option to switch to modem mode and use 3rd party router? Will this improve the range? Didn’t really want 2 routers on show by my tv.
P.S I have 100mb line and speeds are not an issue. Only wifi range.
TIA
