What router are you using?

If it's the now router then poor WiFi is a known feature.

Do you have another router, if so what make/ model?

This one is a NOW router. I don't have a router.

Not really going to help, the router doesn't.

Then what do I need to do? 

How can I request a good router from now?

You can't get a better router from Now, you will need to purchase your own. Both TP-Link and Asus have models with Now's (SKY) authentication method built in.

Alternative you could use a wireless access point to replace the poor Wi-Fi from the Now router.

Have you just come from another ISP? Was their router suitable for your WiFi needs?

I ask as it may be possible to use their router as an access point.

Nope, I am new here. So, I don't have any other router with me. 

But my friend is using BT internet and they provided a good router.

So its better to switch because I don't wanna spend in routers.

Thanks

If you are still in the cooling off period, that may be the best thing to do.

But you may end up spending more on higher subscription charges, than a router would cost.
