Hub1 Router Replacement that won't clash with Sky Q mesh network - need more powerful WiFi please

Hello all
I have a very good Fibre Broadband service from Plusnet, but the Hub 1 router has poor WiFi distance... okay we probably all agree there BUT...
Recently on the advice of a Netgear tech who said that their Orbi system would work with the Hub1 (it doesn't connect to the Hub1 WAN socket and whilst I could get it working using one of the 4 ethernet ports it clashed with the SkyQ mesh system...) it didn't!
It seems that Plusnet don't have a better Hub device we can upgrade to, so I need a complete replacement for the Hub1 and I suspect (having tried and failed) that the support team are not able to recommend a product that isn't one of their own. I'm happy to pay for the correct piece of kit, just as long as it will provide greater WiFi distance and won't clash with Sky Q.
Please can one of the community experts advise?
Many thanks
PS. Yes, I have split the 2.5 & 5 bands so they are not sync. I have a £15 tplink extender that helps a bit but I need a better range from a better hub that will just work. Thanks again, Mike.

it doesn't connect to the Hub1 WAN socket
Its not meant to!. The WAN socket is for an upstream connection to a modem, not a downstream connection to a wireless AP/Mesh system, that would connect via a LAN socket as you discovered.

Please can anyone recommend a direct replacement for my Hub1 Router? i.e. remove Hub1 from Plusnet and add new device that gives better WiFi distance/strength?
Preferably if know one that doesn't clash with a Sky Q system?
If someone from Plusnet can advise, that's great too 🙂
Many thanks
