yes another one!

Need to replace my horrible virgin media super hub 2, planning to use my super hub 3 in modem mode, now they seem to have fixed their issues!
The wifi is slow and constantly drops out, drop devices randomly

large brick internal walled house using 200mb virgin fibre
current set up runs from the front room and isn’t moveable,
super hub 2 + netgear ex2700 repeater in the kitchen provide good (but slow) coverage in all rooms + garden

looking to spend ideally <£200 if thats even possible
 
Mesh system then. Can't say I've personal experience but if BT have fixed their recent firmware issue then the wholehome system seems good value for money. Reviews I've read seem to give the Netgear Orbi system consistently good scores but a much higher price point. Perhaps someone with personal experience can recommend here. I'm intrigued by the Tenda MW3 and MW6 systems because I've read that they enter markets at low price points with decent feature sets but I've read mixed reviews. Seems a lot of system for <£100 for the MW3.
 
A couple of UniFi AP's will probably resolve the connection issues. You could hardwire one to the superhub and then use the 2nd as a Mesh AP.
 
well setup the nova mw6 mesh last night

very easy and quick

2 covers my whole house - 4 story Victorian house but used the 3rd in the attic for good measure

seems much faster and seamlessly switched between nodes

only slight bug bear is only 1 lan port on easy router which meant rejigged my hive setup around the house
