Wireless Booster products

I need to extend the range of my Sky broadband router. I think its an old style Q hub - upright black box with ventilation grill on top. I've seen here that 3rd party extenders like T-Link can be problematic. I understand there's a Sky branded Wireless Booster product but can only find it on Amazon at £67. Seems expensive. Is this a good choice? Is it sold by Sky too - can't see it on any of their web pages.

Any ideas really appreciated.

Sky boosters being sold online are not legit. The only way to acquire one properly is by subscribing to broadband boost then claiming them from Sky.

Thank you - great advice. Are they supplied free to Boost customers and are there any other Boost benefits?

Q Hubs are flat horizontal boxes with smooth tops. Old Sky Hubs (pre-2016) and the 2019 Sky Broadband Hub are upright.
