Need help to Boost Wifi and connect Hard wire device - Recommended product?
Hi I have really slow Wifi in my Bedroom (my Wifi router is in my Lounge not too far away) and looking to boost the Wifi so I can easily use my Laptop and Phone with no issues of slow or dropping...

I know its the Hub 3 from Virgin Media which I must have got about 18 months ago now
My house is pretty small, upstairs split house so all on the same level and 2 bedrooms
I didnt think about that and getting a better router that could increase my wifi coverage but would still have the need to hardwire my devide in my bedroom which is a big thing as its to ensure my IPTV/Netflix subscription runs lag and buffer free
Regarding the layout of my room, would it be useful to draw a diagram and upload the file here? visually might be easier, can also place where the router is

Any router should be able to fill that space with wifi. So it is probably worth looking for other reasons why things go wrong.
What is the wifi device that is slow in the bedroom?
Is it a lot faster when you are closer to the router?
How fast is your Internet service?
Have you tried moving the router to a better location in the main room?
