PN Hub one range issue.

[#1]

My router is about three years old and I am having issues with WiFi range, unless I am within 3m of the router I only get about half signal strength which continues to deteriorate the further away I get. I have bought a power line adapter so that I can get a decent connection in another room, but the weak signal makes video calling very difficult, the weak signal causing regular drop outs. I tried changing channels etc with no improvement, so I was wondering if it’s the router that’s starting to fail as it hasn’t been this poor previousl, any ideas please.

Has this always been the case, or have you moved your router (or other objects) recently?

Positioning can make quite a big difference.

The Hub One isn't the best router, but it's reasonably adequate in most circumstances. You shoudl certainly get more than 3 metres range!

Thank you for your comments, no router has not been moved, its been in the same place for a number of years. it seems like the deterioration in range has happened recently so I was concerned router is starting to fail.
