Hi,
I have a BT Smart Hub 6 which works well enough, but I am struggling with Wi-Fi connection upstairs, so trying to use IPTV on a Fire Stick in the bedroom is challenging at times. I was going to buy another router, connect it to the smart hub, set the Smart Hub to Modem only and see if the Wi-Fi improved, but a Smart Hub 6 cannot be set to Modem only.
I know I can use HomePlugs and buy an Ethernet adaptor for Fire Sticks, but I don't want to be doing that, I just need better Wi-Fi coverage.
Can anyone recommend a good router where I can remove the Smart Hub completely and just use something else, with decent Wi-Fi coverage for the FireSticks, PS4, Xbox etc?
The only options BT can give me are their Wi-Fi extenders, but they are £200. Apparently, they can't downgrade my router either, I have to have the Smart Hub 6.
Cheap as possible.
