Very poor wireless speeds in next room (hub 2)

I like in a single floor 3 bed flat, the wifi speed from the Livingroom (where the router is) is fine and in acceptable margins 62-65mbs down 16-20mbs up.

However just going to a bedroom or my office just down the hall, 5-10 feet away and the speeds drop considerably to  0.43-6mps down 0.08- 6mbs (if I'm lucky) there are no sources of interference surrounding the router and the walls are plasterboard. 

The range on the router is abysmal anything I can do to improve this, otherwise this isn't fit for purpose.

Not me personally, but our son has Now broadband, and has been using it in a flat he rented, and it was fine.

He’s just moved into a three-bedroom house, and “Dad…..”

I have not advised him to split the bands.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

Ha, fair enough, maybe he should post here?  😉

Not everything works everywhere every time. You know that wireless broadband is a flaky proposition, people sometimes have expectations that are swelled by false marketing everywhere.
