In reply to James Malloch:
5GHz has shorter range and less ability to pass through walls, so bear that in mind. As stated upthread, you first need to prove the problem by elimination.
The correct order to do things is:-
1) is the problem inside the house or out? If it's outside you'll just be chasing your tail troubleshooting the wifi, especially with an intermittent issue.
2) Is it the wifi on your BB router? Prove this by turning everything else off and connecting to it with an ethernet cable and comparing the performance of that and of the same device on wifi. Make sure you do it around the same time as your raw BB speed will inevitably decline in the evenings when the internet is busier. If you check the cable at lunchtime when the internet's fast, then the wifi in the evening when it's slow you're not comparing apples with apples.
3) If the BB router's performance is the same on wifi in the same room as it is on the cable, you then need to work out if the BB router's wifi has a range issue. Compare speeds in the same room as to around the rest of the house.
4) If there is a range issue, then try adding the extenders in one at a time until you solve the problem. As suggested above, different SSIDs will help you know what you're connecting to.
Good luck, it's a faff doing everything logically and laboriously, and repeatedly, but you're at the stage where your 'quick fix' hasn't worked and you need to go back to basic principles to definitively identify the problem and fix it. You can download free wifi analyser apps which will show you signal strengths on channels in use (yours and any of your neighbours you're able to receive). If you notice you're both on channels likely to interfere then before you change yours have a word with them and get them to find out if their performance improves when you move off their channel - that will improve your relationship with them no end
