will full fibre improve coverage

[big-all]

have talk talk 35 Huawei hg633 router about 8-10 years old 'fibre to cabinet in the road 80ft away
doesnt give a good signal from the router too about 50 ft away direct line off sight through only 4 panes off glass and then 12 ft sideways behind a brick wall
or further to 80ft away again line off sight and through a thick wooden insulated door

would full fibre give any improvement, or am i limited to extenders that i am hoping to avoid the perhaps few watts off consumption ??
is there any other solutions possible ??
i don't mind outlay at all say £50 to avoid ongoing costs

sorry iff its the normal gibberish i produce as in my head its very clear

I think what you are trying to ask is should the WiFi from the router I have give greater coverage or how can I improve it?

The digital Broadband 'signal' difference between FTTC (& copper to your house) and FTTP is the transmission speed - FTTC typically <100Mbs, FTTP typically >150Mbs. The Router converts the signal from the system network to a form that the Local network and your computers, etc understands. The router can supply that signal by LAN cable (4 wires) or WiFi (2 bands, 2.3 & 5.2GHz) both have a router to device and device to router signal. The 2.3GHz signal has greater range with less signal pairs and only 3 truly separate signal channels; the 5.2GHz signal has more separate signal channels but a lesser range.

If you wish to use WiFi signal further away from the router you either need a range extender (Mesh Network) or better still a LAN cable.

It could be worthwhile going to the WiFi page of your computer and 'seeing' just how many WiFi signals are active in your house and grounds. The more routers your device can 'see' the more interference and hence reduced performance your system will have.

thanks
only me one laptop in the sitting room zero else connected to the internet apart from my mobile no tvs no boxes no doorbells or gismos
i am a simple soul i just wondered iff say a strength gain by full fibre off 20%better signal would stretch to the corners outside where i may find useful as i dont do streaming or downloading [that i know off lol]
all i do is forums like this say banking and asda no watching anything appart from i player but thats in the house as off now but wondering iff new fibre would extend with a stronger overall signal
as it is i have a Chromecast that works fine in direct line off site [60 ft away]but having to use 3m hdmi cable between Chromecast along the wall to the tv as the signal wont reach

sorry iff its gibberish

Buy a long Ethernet cable and link the tv to try a better connection in the house before you change your supplier

And yes use a free tool on your laptop to see if you have neighbours on the same channels as you

A - any UK Router WiFi signal strength is no more than 250mW on any band. New ones are likely to be lower than old ones.

And whether you have full fibre or not it will not improve the WIFI signal which is absolutely nothing to do with the type of internet connection you have.

thanks everyone will try another channel iff i can work it out

ok thanks i understand better now

Your router is ancient if you move to full fibre isp will give you a brand-new router. It should have a much better performance.

yes i was hoping that but who knows lol
