Hi,
Thanks so much for this, I will attempt the SSID splitting and see if that improves things at all.
If it doesn’t, are there any routers/hubs you’d recommend? I don’t think I’d be interested in paying extra to VM for the ‘pods’ as I am already paying quite a lot for this package and not getting what I expect from it.
If you decide to go that route you will get a lot of help and advice on here.
As a starter.... It depends on your requirements for... better routing features, your house layout, size, construction materials, your tech abilities, and of course, budget, ~£40-80 will get a decent introductory wireless router but 'may' not alone solve the wifi in your house, but spending ~£500 will get the “Rolls Royce” solution of a high-end Wifi6 Router & WAP's or a top end Tri-band Mesh system with WiFi6 (may cost a bit more).
You'll probably want something suitable - somewhere within that range - I reckon ~£100-150 is around the “sweet spot” for most standard users, and where you would probably need to start for a standard 2/3-story house if it has brick walls. Less for a one-bedroom modern build flat, more for a stone built 8 bedroom mansion.
Lets us know.
