Ive just moved into a new house that is ftth by BT, problem is, the connection is in a cupboard in the basement, which means my router has to go there and i must rely on wifi and home plugs to supply my tv's, pc's, phones etc.
This alone is a bit of a nightmare because my bt set top box really needs a good network connection for 4k to work on it. At the moment its connected via plugs but my download speed is only 32mbps, whereas at my router its 98mbps!
Wifi signals seem to be ok from the bt smart hub (hh6), but i need to get a much better connection to my pc which is located on the 2nd floor of my house. At the moment im using a netgear wifi booster with network point to my pc and only getting 9mbps download speed.
Today i managed to get my hands on a couple of hp1810 switches (model j9803a), and ive also got 2 spare bt home hub 5's from my previous home.
Is there any way with this equipment that i can improve my speeds to set top box and pc?
Currently my router is in the basement with one port feeding home plugs that go to my set top box, and netgear booster feeding my pc
