Hi all, likely been asked before but couldn't find anything.

Currently have EE broadband, house has an extension where we have a lounge, the Xbox is in the corner and signal is intermittent, likely because it's technically outside the main wall
Can't easily move the router due to where the wires come into the house.
Tried a WiFi extender but it seemed to work by generating another version of the network which was fine for the Xbox but confused the heck out of my phone.
Anyone recommend a decent, hassle free extender please

Thanks for everyone's input, much appreciated.

Sounds like mesh is the way forward. I've looked into all the ones suggested and, based on price and the fact that I had some currys vouchers laying around I've gone with the Nova Tenda MW5 system, should arrive next week

Thank you

Just to close out the thread, the Tenda nova mw5 has arrived, was very easy to setup and has resolved my issues.

Mesh is awesome ! Thanks everyone for the advice

I did as suggested and turned of the WiFi on my original router to avoid any confusion
