Hello,

FIrst of all, new to this community!

Little brief history of my woes.

I live in a 3 bed, semi detached house. Built in the 1960's.

I have Virgin broadband, 150mb. They provided their super hub which worked fine, until we had a baby!

Now the room the baby sleeps in has very poor wifi signal from the Super Hub and would constanty dip in and out, meaning the camera goes off.

I bought the Tenda Nova mesh at first, and this worked really well... If close to the nodes.

As soon as you moved slightly away (2 bar signal rather than 3) the speeds dropped horrendously. 

So I decided to purchase the Deco M5, 2 pack.

All seemed to be working great... Until the iPhone 6s that plays white noise via YouTube kept stopping last night!
When doing a speed test on the phone I was getting 5kbps, 10kbps - YES .... KBPS!! Meanwhile, my phone when sat downstairs was getting 100+mbs

I noticed the iPhone was connecting itself to the Deco downstairs, with 2 bar signal strength.

When I manually connected it to the one upstairs, all seemed great but the signal strength dropped and it moved itsself back to the one downstairs. 

Is it normal, to see such low speeds? We're talking "Ok" signal strength here, not very poor. Surely these units should be giving more then 10kbps? This is even worse than the Tenda Novas.

I've attached a little floor plan as a guide. Also not sure why the signal from the Deco upstairs was so poor, when the room is literally a few meters away.
