Router performance Poor

I'm getting to the end of my wick. The Vodafone pro routers are not designed for the Tech enthusiast.

1) the WiFi strength is poor so had 3 boosters sent. The speed is also poor.

2) can't use 3 boosters only 2. As when I use all three it knocks out all the 2.5ghz devices in the house (smart plugs, ring devices, some TV's, echo's)

3) total 43 devices in the household using WiFi, now and again various devices just won't reconnect.

4) not being able to change WiFi channels is so daft it baffles me, to be able to change wifi channel used to be a Vodafone customer service solution to connection issues

Tried splitting the WiFi but no solution 

I've just had enough of having to use 'forget network' on devices and reconnect them daily any recommendations to what to do next? Cancel the contract or look to buy a decent third party router?

outside 14 days, but they have a Wi-Fi guarantee apparently., to top it off Wi-Fi has completely disconnected a moment ago. so now having to trouble shoot. i knew id have issues with Vodafone like i did a few years ago.

Look up "ubiquiti unifi".  You could get a router plus access points.  However the VF router itself is OK for the most part.  I just turned off the wifi, connected a couple of unifi APs over PoE and they work great.  They will need cabling in, but once installed, just work.
