Sky Max Pod solid state red light

Graham+Patience — Mon, 11 May 2026 20:39:59 GMT

Recently changed Sky Max Router due to internet dropping. Before changing router had 2 x Sky max pods set up by sky engineer within home area. Since replacing sky max router only 1 x Sky max pod works, tried everything with the other pod but constantly changes to solid red light state shortly after powering up. Have also tried direct Ethernet cable connnection from router but same issue. Still waiting for resolutions team to contact me when I am actually at home but I’ve already been through all the on and off stuff, thinking pod must be faulty and requires replacement.......wondered anyone else had same issue as there appears to be no reset function on these pod extenders.

It's a nightmare Sky are telling me they have system issues I have been waiting weeks to be issued a replacement pod have hooked up a spare other manufacturer extender but does not work nearly as well as Sky pod. I currently have an open case with them and hopefully gets resolved eventually but there appears to be a frustrating long drawn out process if escalations before a replacement pod can be issued. I've had BB engineer and Sky engineer at house who all agree the pod needs replaced and still no further ahead. My contract is up end of year and seriously thinking of changing, however I find the pods excellent extenders and why trying to stay the course to get resolution.
