Hi, my Sonus system isn't working right, as my phone keeps switching to my extender routers when I move around my house, Sonus have told me to change the name on my extenders (I have 2) to a different WiFi name, any idea how I do this? Thanks in advance 🙂

If you mean Sky Boosters then no you can't change the name afaik

Thanks, yes they are white looking router boxes, so suspect they are boosters. Thanks for answer... She did mention a mesh set up too but I'm not sure what that is!?

Yes Sky Q/Sky Hub + Boosters are a mesh network

Thanks, so question can I add to this myself, as saw some TP link ones online?

You can't add to it unless your getting Sky gear. You can create your own though using TP-Link mesh options or perhaps Asus AiMesh.

Thanks, might be too technical for me!
