Wi-Fi Blackspot

I am having Internet connectivity issues in one part of my house. Is there any way that I can improve the signal in this area?

@NTanner the usual work round is to use some form of extender Sky can sell you their WiFi Max bundle which can supply up to 3 esxtenders see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max

Thanks, but I have an extender and it's not really helping much.

@NTanner extenders need a good connection to the hub so should be placed halfway between the hub and where you need the boost. You can have areas of you home which due to factors like solid walls or foil faced insulations mean wifi signals are blocked. Here the only solution is running an ethernet cable or using technology like powerline adapters and connecting a wifi access point to that feed.
