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...

My house is pretty small, upstairs split house so all on the same level and 2 bedrooms
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?
Everytime i post specific information about my hardware etc it posts then deletes the post and says access denied.
I dont want to break any rules here but find it tough when i cant post what im using
Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6235 - thats my laptop wireless network adapter
Phone is Samsung S9, pretty new. Works everywhere apart from lags in bedroom and bathroom

200mb Fibre internet. Cant really move as its already tacked to my skirting boards half way round my living room and cant see it making a difference as it cant get any nearer the door
If you get bad wifi in the kitchen, in the next room, there's something strange going on there.
If the router is on the desk, try putting it higher up somehow.
So, a little update. I downloaded the VM Connect App and found a couple of Black Spots for Wifi. It said I could get some Boosters for £2 a month and said that the contract would arrive, they wernt very clear as to how long I would be contracted to but said full details would follow.
I thought if I got these then at least the Wifi signal would be fixed then I can maybe just get a standard powerline for hardwiring a device. There is a small socket just outside the Bedroom that could plug in the Wifi Booster to free up the plug space also
