@Jimbofartpants Have you changed any of the equipment in the property since this happened? Like change of router or position of the router?

@Jimbofartpants What have you tried to see if things go back to the way they had been? Have you tried to change the postion of the router to see if this makes any difference? Which router do you have from the link below.

My Sky Router never covered the whole house, was similar in my previous property.

I tried various solutions including Wifi boosters, home plug, nothing of that sort really worked well and was either patchy in terms of connectivity, speed or both.

In the end I invested in a Netgear Orbi mesh network, and have never looked back.

It's solved all my connection problems and I can now get around 40-50Mbps in every room in the house on Wifi, and approx 55-60Mbps on direct ethernet to the mesh satellites, which considering the home connection is on average around 60-62Mbps at the router, I'm very happy with.

Costco sell them on offer occassionally for competitive prices compared to some other solutions, well worth a look.
