Improving on Virgin's Hub 2 wifi speeds . . .

    Hey there.

    I've got a 1GB fibre connection to my home, and with an ethernet cable connected to my mac, it delivers 920Mbps or sp - super fast and it's great for work. 

    But the fall off around the house on wifi is just stupid - like 20 feet away through two thin plaster walls, it's 40mbs or so. I live in a badly constructed modern house with thin walls - not some kind of castle with sold stone walls etc. 

    I could install a mesh system but I also wonder if the problem isn't just that the device that Virgin provides, the Hub 2, made by Arris, isn't just really bad at broadcasting wifi?

    Searching online, it seems Virgin in the UK offers a Hub 3, 4 and 5 but here there doesn't seem to be an option to upgrade the device. So has anyone come across this issue and replaced their Hub 2 with a better device? If so, what did you do?
