@JonnyBark wifi speeds depend on how far a device is from the hub and whatlies between t he two. Solid internal walls will reduce the signal significantly and anything made of metal like a radiator will block it. Therefore makecsure your hub is in the best position out in the open on a surfacecso it is above as much as possible.

 

You may need some extra kit if where you work is on another floor or at the opposite end of your home. Sky sell a package called Wifi Max which can i nclude up to 3 extenders if you need them at £7.50 a month. Alternatively you can buy your own kit. Powerline networking that uses the mains cables in your home is a good idea if your officecis well away from the hub.
