Issues with WiFi reaching around the house

jane1972 — Sun, 09 Feb 2025 19:33:47 GMT

Hi, we're finding we have issues with WiFi reaching certain rooms in the house. With our old provider we needed boosters around the house to make sure the signal reached everywhere efficiently, how do we find out about getting sky wifi boosters please. The signal rarely reaches our kitchen at the back of the house or upstairs. The router is in the lounge at the front of the house. Thanks

Might be worth giving Sky a call to enquire about Sky WiFi Max. Details below:

I'll definitely give them a call, but we're already subscribed to Max! Sadly it seems Victorian terraced houses aren't designed for WiFi!

We live in a brick and stone 3 bed terraced house built 1899. We have 2 Sky boosters. One in the kitchen and one in the attic bedroom. That works perfectly.

Give Sky a call and ask for a couple of boosters to try

@elderwandninja Sky do not provide free boosters on demand they only are sent if you have either bought an add-on like Wifi Max (or the older Broadband Boost bundle) or you have Sky Q boxes that need boosters to connect.

Thanks, this is exactly the same as us, I'll definitely give it a try, 🤞🏻

We've already got WiFi max thanks. Spoke to them and they're going to send a booster to see if that helps.

Did you have to pay for these?

No, although there is a monthly charge of £6 per month for the Sky WiFi Max add-on.
