Wi-Fi Bandwidth Sky SR203 v BT Smart Hub 2

I have BT Full Fibre 900 and as I am out of contract I am considering moving to Sky's equivalent product.  Can anyone tell me how the Wi-Fi bandwidth on the SR203 router compares to that on the BT Smart Hub 2?  The BT hub only gives me adequate Wi-Fi in the room furthest from the hub so I can't afford Sky to be worse.

Perhaps also worth noting that Sky cannot currently offer a cellular data failover option to domestic subscribers to compete with the BT Halo 3+ offering.

I've personally not used any Sky router for WI-FI in a long time. If you want whole home coversage I would suggest looking at a mesh setup, I've been using Deco M5's for around 3 years now and its been a game changer.

 

Plug the router in to the master node (Mesh device), position other nodes around the house and turn sky WI-FI off

Generally the experience is that the Sky hub doesnt reach as far or provide as fast speeds as the BT hub.
