Fix dead rooms: mesh, extender, or ethernet
One flat in Dubai often has a structural wall the 5 GHz signal simply will not cross, so the honest options are: add a node, run a cable, or move the router. Extenders halve throughput on the backhaul, mesh with a wired backhaul does not.

Do this, in order
- Map where it actually fails - walk with a phone and note the RSSI in dBm; below -70 is the trouble line.
- Best: one Ethernet run between rooms with a wired access point. Second best: a tri-band mesh with wired backhaul.
- Avoid cheap repeaters for working video calls; they are fine for browsing only.
- Keep one SSID for phones and a separate 2.4 GHz SSID for gadgets that cannot roam.
- du sells mesh add-ons with Home plans on some tiers - worth comparing before buying retail.
