Hey guys I have recently set up my virgin broadband, speeds are great when I am in the same room as my router but suffer drastically when I move to my bedroom 6 meters away, I live in an old style bulding with thicker walls, I fear this may be causing the drop in signal.

Can anyone reccomend good routers in the 80-120 pound range? Or any sort of signal booster?

I live in a 2 bed apartment and I just want to improve signal in my bedroom and in my spare room.

I am not interested in the "boosters" offered by Virgin Media, I am looking at things such as the Asus RT-AC66u router which has some good reviews even thought it is a few years old...Really just looking for suggestions from the tech savvies amongst yourselves.

Thanks in advance

The ASUS AC86U is the “replacement” for the 66U.

It will improve things but a mesh system may be better for extended WiFi coverage.

I have just bought into the Eero pro (pair of them) and its been solid as a rock so far. Speeds in the bedroom are no where near the M9 from TP-link, but has been the most stable.

Everything is working like clockwork.....100% recommend them. (on sale right now !!!)
