Sky Max Hub Poor Wifi Signal

mrjackson90 — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 20:07:50 GMT

Ive just had sky broadband 500mb installed, moving from Bt.

Unfortunately, the wifi signal upstairs is now shocking with constant dropouts

any suggestions how to improve this, we don't live in a massive house (its a new build so no thick walls) and have never had an issue with other providers (BT/Plusnet)

@mrjackson90 The obvious choice for you is to call after the 14day wait period and organise getting the first sky Max pod if there testing and checks warrant getting one! The links below all about the Max and what you get!

Thanks ,

It's a bit of a scam that you have to wait until after the cooling off period until you can get wifi extenders from them

@mrjackson90 Some have tried early so it's well worth a go, it's official in the documentation as you may have seen!
