Wi-Fi booster or extender

SparkieRich — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 09:43:56 GMT

Hi. I'm staying with my elderly MIL for a couple of days and looking to improve the WiFi coverage in her house. The sky router is a black box at one end of the house and there is no coverage at the other end which is where her bedroom is.

I'm looking for a simple solution. Likely not a new mesh network. Really just looking to extend the existing WiFi to cover the whole house.

@SparkieRich Then the Sky Broadband Booster is the one to get, you cannot from sky so third party or second hand, will be the easiest to set and match for operation so that has to be a Plus consideration factor!

@SparkieRich The link explains all about setting it up also, just sit it 1 foot away fron the SR203 hub, do the wps on each, button is on the RHS about 1 inch from the bottom, light on the middle will flash on each, takes about 5 minutes to connect the two devices, then all 3 green lights on the SE210 light up, NEXT IS IMPORTANT just leave it like that for 10 minutes. After disconnect move HALF way between the Hub and where you need the wireless, switch it on and get it all up to the three green light's again that takes about 3 min's boot time, see you have wi-fi now where you need it!

Just switched from BT to sky. We had a booster in the kitchen with BT and are experiencing the same drop out. Can you send us an extender?

Kind Regards

Kevin

@Kevin248 The Forum is not sky Customer service, as long as you have the sky Max addon package then getting a booster works this way, you need to call sky when you are at home, they will run some test's with you and that determines the first one, 2nd/3rd require Engineer visit's, linked below is the information that details what the min is against your package! Call line is open 8am to 8pm!
