Which router?

I have recently bought a new router from my ISP. Tp-link TL-WR940N 450 Mbps . However the average speed from router to tablet, phone or tablet is only 54Mbps. The signal often drops when using my tablet on my terrace 10m away and I have to take it back to the router to reconnect. The coverage is not great!
I am looking to buy another router TP-Link C80 AC1900 MU-MIMO Dual Band with WiFi speed of 1300 Mbps.
Will I notice the difference with this router?

If your tablet, phone or tablet are 5g their is a difference. I have a booster in the lounge and it is also 2. 4 and 5g. :+1:)

my router is TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Cable Router, Wi-Fi Speed Up to 1300 Mbps/5 GHz + 450 Mbps/2.4 GHz, 4 Gigabit LAN Ports, 1 USB Port, Supports Parental Control,

No my phone & tablet is not 5g. Are you saying therefore that it's not really worth the extra expense of a new router?

This article may help, https://www.4g.co.uk/how-fast-is-4g/

With the information you have given Samsung s10 plus phone & Samsung S5e tablet, your phone appears and tablet are both dual band.

So a faster router will increase speed, if they are configured correctly.

Just AS a thought. Bypassed the router and hardwired it straight into the TV for firestick. Still buffering. Does that mean whatever router I get it will make no difference at all. Presume it's a band width issue
