Your are almost always going to experience a loss of speed to a booster because it has to feed off a WiFi connection back to the Sky hub so essentially the available&nbsp;bandwidth of that particular&nbsp;WiFi network gets cut in half.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 24 Sep 2024 11:25:13 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/WiFi-booster-speed-is-slow/m-p/4765467#M424413 jamesn123 2024-09-24T11:25:13Z
