Any recommendations on WiFi boosters?
We have Virgin broadband which we can't pick up in a couple of rooms in the house.

Contact Virgin, explain that, and they will send you out a wifi pod free of charge. They will only send you one at first, but we now have 2 as we still didnt really get wifi upstairs. They work really well. Hardest thing was sitting in a queue waiting for Virgin to respond

I got a Powerline 1000 from Virgin a few years ago that still does the job, I would imagine that there's more up to date equipment available now.

I also have Virgin broadband and use a Deco mesh system that works really well. I tried talking to Virgin before I bought it and was told they had no stock of extenders they could give me.

Thanks all. Virgin are sending a pod so we'll see how that goes. If no good then I'll give the Deco mesh option a try.
Thank you.

Still worth trying the free virgin pod first.
The virgin pods are also MESH. Worked a treat for us

Got Orbis here and they’re excellent. Wifi has been faultless ever since.

Put the Virgin "superhub" into it's passthrough cable-modem-only mode and by a decent wifi router. They are beyond pish.

I use a TP-Link that is plugged into a socket in my spare room and it works perfectly in extending the signal upstairs.

Update: Virgin sent a free booster (which looks like an upgrade on the older plug in a socket version) and it works very well. Sorted our dead WiFi zone.
Thanks all for your advice 👍
