Sky WiFi Max

Thinking switching to sky BB and the max package.

I have ring cameras on outside of building and needing extenders to connect at present with BT.

Are the max pods decent and give a good signal ?

@jasonuk1975

One point to note is that Max pods are WiFi 5 rather than WiFi 6. The various Sky WiFi 'guarantees' specifically exclude outside spaces, so it wouldn't be possible to claim for that purpose.

I changed my max hub ssid and password to match that of my old router and it connected with no problems when it powered up

@mormegil Are your BT white Whole home wi-fi or the Black Complete wi-fi, white should work fine, black is a NO NO!

If you state when ordering that you the bt boosters then the sales agent should also request the first sky booster to be sent at the same time

Did you have extenders already and did they connect up automatically ?

I have a Bt plug in 600 extender in one room and a RE200 tp link in the other.
