Hi all, after some help if possible please. Forgive me if the answer is really obvious.
I want to improve WiFi coverage around the house.
Current arrangement is:
Anything connected on Ethernet or in close proximity to the Router is fine, and will receive the full internet connection speed (200MBps), but the WiFi signal drops off and speeds reduce in other parts of the house.
Options as I understand them;
a) Replace the router with something better and hope that gives better coverage
b) Wireless Access Point(s)
c) Both a and b
d) replace the whole lot with a fancy mesh system?
Any thoughts please? Which option, and if possible what equipment?

- Virgin Media Hub set to Modem mode
- Netgear Nighthawk (R7000)AC1900 Router
- CAT6 Wired Ethernet throughout the home.
