WiFi dead spots almost never have anything to do with your broadband speed. The cause is almost always physical — walls, floors, the distance between your router and the devices that need it most. The solution is either a correctly placed access point or a mesh system with nodes positioned to eliminate the specific dead zone, not just placed wherever is convenient.
