Recommend router for VDSL service in a unit

Hi All
I have got VDSL service from fuzenet on one their 50mbps plans. Issue i have is that phone point in my unit is in the futhest wall in my living room due to which i dont get good/fast wifi reception in both of my bedrooms. When i run speed test from my phone in living room i can get speed from 40-46 mbps but doing a test in the bedrooms i only get speed of 5-6 mbps.
Now i beleive i can fix this issue with buying a router and positioning somewhere at the middle of my place so I can get better wifi reception in the bedrooms. is this right and if so can you please recommend me a good value router please?

Thanks in advance for your suggesstions

    Could try a Ubiquiti UniFi AP access point, as they come with a POE injector (meaning the unit can be powered using just one Ethernet cable) and they are not really that expensive. The main benefit of Ubiquiti AP is that they are made to be stable and have a reliable long-range connection.

    If you need something cheaper but with Wireless AC 5ghz try TP link Archer C2.

      Thanks scremshaw. This looks quite interesting, so to get this unit working i just need to connect it to my modem via Ethernet cable?
      Edit C2 seems perfect for my needs

        The POE injector allows you to power the Access point using the ethernet cable.

        The POE injector has two network ports, one of which connects to your router, the other to your Ubiquiti AP.

        The injector itself must be AC powered (attached to wall socke) which basically powers your ubiquiti Wifi Access point by sending the power through the long network cabling, meaning that you can place your AP unit even further away from a power point. E.g on the ceilling.
