poor wifi

JBABLB — Mon, 29 Jun 2026 19:31:47 GMT

I have full fibre 500. I have two streaming pucks, one in the main living room and one in my daughters bedroom. She has always struggled to get consistent trouble free Wifi connection. I have a Sky wifi booster in her bedroom, makes no difference.

When checking the signal it always says excellent but then the TV says no internet!

I have a decent Sky package and of course pay a decent price.

I have followed all your wifi, broadband connection checkers, of course it says all good. I end up going around in circles on the Sky website trying different things, i get a bit fed up with paying the price then end up doing all the chasing, clicking, checking and keep paying. How would Sky like it if i said my payments to you are good or excellenet then not pay, you'd just cut me off and send instruct your debt agencies.

Can someone please help?

A booster is intended to be a mid-point device (halfway between router and client) : it cannot do any good when placed in a location which has a poor signal to begin with.

The Sky Help pages give advice on where to place the hardware.

@Pchoneywell

A poor signal in certain rooms is something that comes up on here on a regular basis so try going through this to see if it helps:

If not and if you have Wi-Fi Max on your account then Sky will loan up to 3 pods as you can read about here:

So you can either call them on 150 from a landline phone or a mobile that has a Sky sim in it or Select "No, I still need help" at the bottom on the above link.
