@Gibbs1500 Place the router in a central position, it will be fine.

@Gibbs1500 Have a read when you get some time. What is your ISP service currently.

@Gibbs1500 Is that the reason you are moving from sky? you have Sky max and has only been out about a year now? EE router is comparative to what you have just now.
