Quick internet speeds coming into the home but slow WIFI download speeds and connection

Does anyone else have a problem with the speed of the WIFI being distributed around the home? We pay for 500mbs but it never feels like it. Also we have to use a WiFi extender for the TV in the back room!

Multiple posts suggest so (particularly with the Max Hub), but it's worth remembering that all WiFi is zero Mbs on the other side of a few walls.

500Mbs (400Mbs minimum) as far as the Hub, yes, but not over WiFi from it.

Quite possibly: all internet routers have a regulated maximum power output, because you wouldn't want to share a room with one that didn't.
