Upgrading router

Hi is there a better router I can buy off the shelf and just works and is better than the hub one I have now?
Poor coverage and slow speeds is my issue. I get speeds of roughly 10-40 megabits. 

 

I didn't want to spend over £200. Is there anything that would work better? 

Thanks

Could you post your hub stats to see what speed is going into the hub

First things first you appear to have the very old sr102 which has just a 2.4ghz wifi band and not suited to having 70Mbps thrown at it .  First port of call would be to call sky to request a dual band ER115 dual band router to see if that helps

 

Call sky on 150 from your sky landline or
zero three three three seven five nine one zero one eight from any other phone

Or if in Ireland

Call sky ireland on

Remove all the full stops

Re: Upgrading router

One last question. I believe the new router only has two ports. I use all four on the present router.  Can anyone recommend anything to get more ports like an extender? 
thanks.
