I want to move my wifi router in my room, but the socket is damaged (it was already damaged before i moved in). The reason I want to move it is because my house has three floors and the router is currently at the bottom floor, so the wifi is weak in certain areas. I also want to build a pc and connect it to the router via ethernet. I've attached a picture below.
Is there a way I can get someone to come home and fix it? If yes, is it going to cost money or is it free?
Thanks in advance for the help.

There is a £25 none fault call out charge for this sort of request.
You'll need to create a thread in 'QuickStart, set up and connections' for it to be picked up by VM:

If you move the hub the WiFi will be bad on the ground floor, do you want that? If not, run an Ethernet cable to your room and connect it to a gigabit network switch, then a WAP and your PC can be plugged into the switch. My sig has an example of such a switch.

Use an adapter to make a temporary connection of the VM hub at the new location

Try out the hub in the new location for a while and see how the change of location affects the wi-fi signal throughout your home. It the new hub location proves suitable, get a proper socket installed there.
