Advice on buying my own router

Hi all,

I have recently red-contracted my wifi to VM M100 and have the hub 3. Given the constraints on space in my house it’s currently behind the tv and near a window. Consequently signal reception at the rear of the house is poor. On my previous talk talk setup a Range extender (netgear ex6110) covered that gap nicely. However, it doesn’t work as well with the VM setup so I’m considering buying a better aftermarket router and switching the hub to modem mode. Do you think it will help to improve the signal at the back of the house? If so any advice on which routers to look at? I have been looking at Asus ac88u and ax88u.

A few details about what I use it for and what devices are connected;

- stream 4K via wired connection
- online gaming UHD via PS4 again wired
- three/four devices connected wirelessly (phone/tablet/laptop/Sonos system)
- gaming pc coming soon with intel wifi-6 card (to be connected wirelessly)

Thanks in advance for any advice,
Dylan
