Andy:
some times the wifi signal drops and have to resort to 4g on my phone to get the internet upstairs so been looking into a wifi booster...Any one use of recommend one

I bought two from aliexpress for the exact same reason. All they do is pick up a sh*t signal and bump it up another flight of stairs which subsequently drops by the time you finally get it to your phone.

If possible, get a wired LAN receiver option and wire from the broadband device to the wifi booster upstairs. That way it's full strength signal being bumped.

If you can't wire a LAN then I suggest going for a powerline adapater which takes the wifi signal through the wiring system in your house so it's a more solid connection.

Used those Powerline adapters in a couple of houses I rented and they work well.  But for some reason, in my own house with up-to-date building regs, they don't work...at all.

Who is your BB provider?

I'm with BT and had the same issue with the HomeHub 5 on the 2nd floor of the house.   Recently switched it to the Homehub 6, or whatever the latest one is, and now passengers on aircraft flying over my house can enjoy free Wi-Fi for a few seconds.  Huge difference in range between old crusty routers vs new ones.
