If you think that the Smarthub is rubbish then you could find that spending lots of money buys you something that’s not much better.
Have you considered running an Ethernet cable or a Poweline network to the other part of your property and installing a Wireless Access Point on the end? This may be helpful regarding Powerline devices https://community.plus.net/t5/Tech-Help-Software-Hardware-etc/Powerline-Unit-Performance/m-p/1607450...
Incidentally have you tried separating the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands on the Smarthub in case that this is the problem? See Section 12 here. https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Using-the-BT-Smarthub-6-on-a-Plusnet-Account/m-p/1587673#M85.... Try each band in turn.

It’s when I go onto Twitter it’s loading tweets but not showing pictures. When I turn WiFi off and go onto 4G it shows the pictures. All other apps are fine. I’m getting 67mbps so I’m a little confused by it.

This is an indication that you need to separate the two bands as I suggested earlier. Just try it, it will take all of a couple of minutes and cost you nothing.
