Power Hub wifi range + Booster (would a secondhand one work?)

I'm using a Power Hub, the range isn't great. I've previously used an Orbi system, but I'm struggling to get it successfully set up with the Power Hub. I could run it on its own without the Power Hub, but then I lose the landline.

Are the Boosters any good, are they effectively a mesh system that works with the Power Hub? If I were to buy one secondhand, would it be a case of plugging it in and it "just works" or is it something that has to be assigned to your account by Vodafone? I was wondering how the administration of it would work, or if it just acts as an invisible extension of the Power Hub.

I'd concentrate on getting the Orbi working, getting a second hand Power Hub booster may not be easy (I've been looking on eBay) and it may need Vodafone to add it to your account, which they may not do.

Just what problems do you have with the Orbi, have you followed these instructions?
