we currently have a draytec router in our office and want to upgrade the router in our home but we really need a STRONG Wifi sgnal

What router would you recommend - the broadband source is a separate vodafone 4/5g GigaCube

I upgraded to one of these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/WAVLINK-Tri-Band-Wireless...

Which struck me as fantastic value and absolutely blows my old Netgear into the weeds.

It’s pretty big and ugly though, so Mrs Panda remains unimpressed, but other than that it’s stunning.

for range anxiety there is not much better than the mesh wifi systems, Can be a better option to upgrading router especially if we are talking range being a primary issue,

They tend to be reliable rock solid with good signal and bring life back to tired or under performing wifi thru your router. I run the BT disks in a 4 story Victorian stone house.

Just add some APs to your Draytek.

Are you able to put the Gigacube into 'modem mode' ? You should not really have two routers on a network.
