Hub 3.0 might be what its called but we'd need a model number and name to help.
I couldn't find any Netgear powerline adapters for the UK that have integrated wifi and passthrough. I did find some from other companies but most were >£60.
What wifi adapter are you using?
have you tried changing wifi channels to help with signal interference?
Or changing the router placement to see if that'll help with signal broadcast?

I would consider paying more for the right ones, that was just a rough idea of a budget. Ive seen some fantastic ones but they are £120 which is a bit steep if im being honest.
Ill need to find the details on the Hub when im in from work. What will the name and model help identify?
Thanks

It'll help us determine how well the basic device should work. If your room is close to where the router is, it might be something you can try to get your wifi working better versus adding in a powerline device, extender, etc.
