@BOWLER+DARREN you are posting on a public internet forum so you are not talking to Sky. Most three bed semis present no issue to network so does your home have solid internal walls? If it has it can be more difficult to network than a far larger home with partition walls. Another issue is even a thin layer of metal foil will block a wifi signal so foil faced insulation makes wifi useless. There are normally good reasons why WiFi doesnt work.

As you mention pods I assume you have spoken to Sky and are paying  for WiFi Max in which case why not ask them to send out a Broadband Engineer as if your son is really only getting 16Mb/s that is below the 25Mb/s in every room that Sky guarantee for WiFi Max. However do check that your son is not quoting speeds from services like. Steam who quote speeds in Megabytes not megabits so 16MB/s is 128Mb/s as there are 8 bits in each byte. If you son is a keen gamer you really need to use ethernet cables to his PC not so much for speed buto reduce jitter.
