I’ve just swapped our Super Hub 3 for a 5 and whilst I *think* it’s a bit better, we still don’t get WiFi in the kitchen. I’ve got an old (probably like 10 yrs old!) plug-in Netgear extender which works intermittently but i think its time to invest in something a bit more reliable - fed up of Sonos losing connection. I think the Netgear extender is only 2.4ghz so maybe something with a bit more poke needed? Any recommendations for a decent plug-in extender / booster device? Thanks

How much do you want to spend? I got these TP-Link mesh wifi around 4 years ago and they've been faultless. I've got 3 of them to cover an L shaped house and you can maintain connection across the whole house seemlessly.

edit to add, it looks like you can get newer and cheaper mesh models from TP-Link now, as I say, the ones I got were a good few years old (but still work perfectly).

I've had these for about 2 years now with a Superhub. Don't understand why people spend more.
