Wi-Fi poor at rear of house

[SimonMChester]

Hi there - enjoying our new Sky broadband and great speeds. However there is a real difference around the house with Wi-Fi quality especially at the rear of our house. Just taken these readings across the last 5 mins but can be very intermittent.

Ground floor front (route location) - 520 mb/s

Ground floor rear - 32 mb/s

1st Floor front - 510mb/s

1st floor rear - no connection - low strength wi-go

2nd floor front - 212 mb/s

2nd floor rear - no connection - low strength Wi-Fi

Speaking in a Sky shop yesterday they mentioned extenders or boosters. I previously set up a mesh network in the house and think I might need to do the same.

Can you please advise next steps.

Thanks

@SimonMChester Sounding like that is the way to go, sky's mesh info is linked below if you need that and are Max inclined!

I went with a non-Sky mesh (Eero) to get wifi to all parts of our bungalow, as the Sky Router (and also previous TalkTalk router) wouldn't reach all rooms. Bonus is that should I leave Sky for a new supplier in future I will still have my mesh for wifi as most providers routers are not capable of covering even normal sized properties.

Good luck whatever you decide to do.
