Hi can anyone help me I got sky 500 gig full fibre but the signal in the home isn't very good I've tried the sky max pods but they only worked now n then can anyone recommend a WiFi repeater that will work with the sky router I tried a new fast WiFi extender but can't get any internet signal to go to it from the router

@Davey791 Not using a sky Max hub, other ones yes but not that one!

Why is your sky pod not working, was it supplied by sky, give them a call and have it replaced!

@Davey791 one approach is to buy a multiple unit home wifi set up like the Deco range from TP-Link orthe Orbi range from Netgear. Simply connect the first unit to the Sky hub by Ethernet, turn off the hub's wifi and use the third party set up in Access Point mode.

I have ben using this set up for several years myself and have rock steady WiFi in every room on 3 kevels using a cheap 3 unit Deco M4 set up,
