I have recently had SKY (UK) 500Mbs FTTP installed, I chose to have it installed into the dining room at the rear of the property so the router/modem (supplied by SKY) could sit on my desk with a wired connection to my computer to maximise speeds.
I also do laptop refurbishments at my desk and this also gives great WiFi speeds sat next to the router, usually close to the maximum 500Mbps.
WiFi speed in the living room is around 70Mbps, somewhat lower than the 500Mbps maximum, I expected this hence getting the installation done to where I will use it the most in the dining room. 70Mbps is perfectly fine but it would be nice to make more use of the higher speeds if I'm sat on the couch with a laptop downloading etc.
So the question is - is there a cheap and simple way to increase the WiFi speed in the living room?
My main goals would be -
1. Seamless connection - hopefully not having to connect to a separate WiFi network in the living room
2. Cost - As cheap as possible
3. Speed - Hoping to achieve 300/400/500Mbps if possible
4. Wireless - Wireless would be preferred but I'm not adverse to running a LAN cable round a few doorways from the dining room to the living room.
Any help would be much appreciated, mainly I'm a dab hand at computers but very much a novice when it comes to networking/WiFi!
Router/modem is SKY supplied SR203
Dining room & living room are on the same floor, maybe 10 meters apart (dining room>hallway>living room)
Thanks
