Wifi powerline plugs or repeater?

We have a couple of dead zone spots in the house that I would like to improve. Its a 3 story build. Currently have Virgin Wifi with their hub. I know its not great but its our only current option. I've been looking online at TP link powerline kits and im a tad confused. Theres all sorts of kit - wifi, bridges etc. Not looking to spend a fortune just to improve our current set up a bit. Thanks

Would this be a good option or something like this -

For most people a mesh network will do the job, I have the "TP-Link deco E4" it will cover your whole house with no black spots, they are selling for under €100 on Amazon. Make sure you buy a 3 pack or greater.
If you have a new sky box or IPTV I'd use a "powerline adapter" so you have a wired connection straight from your router, so no buffering during a movie
