Weak or no wifi

I've just had fibre broadband fitted and the signal around the house is poor and doesn't work in some rooms

@Keith166 Was everything fine signal wise before you did the Fibre upgrade!

@Keith166 If all you had done was the Fibre upgrade, and the hub is the same and has not moved, nothing really should change apart from a speed upgrade if that is what you also did!

The hub was moved into the front room of the house (about 3 meters from previous place) to accommodate for electric supply. 
it's actually worse than it was before signal and speed wise

@Keith166 You should look to get the hub back to where it was before, you just need to have a longer Ethernet cable and power to position it where it was before the upgrade and will more than likely take care of the wireless wi-fi signal distribution about the home.

That's not possible, can have wires all over the house into the hallway

@Keith166 Your only other choice then is to look at how you are going to boost the wireless about the home.
