Re: Booster
A booster (Wifi repeater) has to go between the good signal and the poor signal - if you put it where the signal is needed, then it won't have enough arriving to boost.

The alternative is powerline with Wifi, since the feed is via powerline, it can be placed where the Wifi is already dead.
The booster will extend ONE Wifi network, this could be the primary or the secondary, but not both.
A powerline to Wifi could be independent, or could be an additional access point for the primary.

But as mentioned, the SHUB 1 is awful, if you could get upgraded to a SHUB 2, that has better Wifi than the 1, and supports simultaneous 2.4G and 5G. You could also do that with a decent router and the SHUB 1 in modem mode
