Wifi drop off - low Dbmv?

Broadbean1
Tuning in

Hi, 

I've been with Virgin just over a month and am experiencing frequent drop offs in wifi to the point I where I can no longer take work calls unless I am in the same room as the router. I purchased a Netgear EX7700 extender but this did not help. Have now switched to an Eero Mesh network so the Hub (3.0) is in Modem route. This has improved things as I can now get wifi in all parts of my building (only 90sqm) but when I am in my office the wifi does continue to drop out for about 20 seconds at a time every 5-10 minutes. I have checked the RSSI for my laptop and it ranges between 30-50, I checked for any local issues and am not seeing anything pop up which has led me to believe its something to do with the line coming into my router/modem.  Having looked at the forum I can see that my Dbmv Downstream is low and wonder whether that has something to do with it?
