Doing a WiFi speed test on your phone is pointless. You need to run a network check from the get help menu on the Netflix app on your puck. This is the only way to discover exactly what speed is reaching the puck. 

WiFi boosters are rarely a good solution to poor WiFi coverage, particularly for Sky Stream. 

A decent (but more expensive) WiFi mesh system is better, or you could purchase a couple of powerline adapters for around £40 instead. These will use your home's electrical wiring to send the broadband signal from your router to the socket in your kitchen nearest the puck.
