Wi-Fi booster

Loucaa23 — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 14:29:43 GMT

Hi,

my house is really long and we have a hub and booster halfway down the house but my newly painted office is currently no use as the wifi can't extend. Can boost the booster and if so how?

I have searched for equipment and there are guides but no clear way how I can get equipment.

it's not newly extended it's just the room was my baby sons so never needed a connection there but he has moved rooms and I want to make it my office.

@Loucaa23 If mainline max speed is not an issue, then would consider looking at powerline to do as you need!

Do you know if they need to be on the same circuit. We have 3 phase power so I think they might be on different fuse boxes....

@Loucaa23 Different fuse, then NO chance of having powerline!

You would be better to have a look at a reasonable mesh wirless wi-fi system, they are not magic pills but do have a lot more horsepower, if not Ethenet cable point A to B, is that possible!

You may as well also say which Sky Hub you have currently and what booster you are using!
