Hi all.

I have a poor signal with my hub 5 upstairs. I'm not looking for settings solution, as I've done channel changes to no effect.

As such I'm looking for recommendations for a range extender, maybe even with mesh tech, whilst still using the Hub 5 as the primary wifi router. I'm not interested in the VM pods, as i don't want to pay a monthly sub to have it.

Anybody have some pointers?

Your better off buying a more powerful router to be honest. Please explain your property size, floor number etc. I used to get wifi only on the bottom floor and very poor signal on the second with none on the third. I brought the Netgear Rax200 and where I was getting 400mb in front of the router I got 780mb and even on the top floor where I was previously getting nothing I got mid 300mb.

If I Have Tried To Help You Hope It Helps:
I am fairly knowledgeable about technology in general and will try to help you to the best of my ability.
