Help needed
Hi all,
I'm new here and looking for something help please. I apologise in advance if this is posted in the wrong place.
I have BT fibre 900. I want to change my BT router to a netgear in the hope I will get better WiFi in my house. I have got the netgear nighthawk s8000 8 ethernet port and am looking for a decent router. My modem is separate from the router (I think its the white box on the wall, picture attached). Can anyone suggest something decent please that may offer better/stronger wifi. Many thanks in advance

How big is your home and what materials are the interior walls made of?
Sometimes its not a matter of just getting a new router but upgrading to diffeent stye system like a mesh system if you're looking for better coverage.

2 of the best blockers of wifi.
Many who end up in situations like yours end up using a mesh system with a wired backhaul. That wired backhaul could be using moca adapters, powerline, or ethernet.
