Sky WIFI Max Compatability with Devolo

AD2466 — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 12:34:57 GMT

Currently im using Devolo wifi extenders to run a mess WIFI system throughout my home will I be able to still use them when I recieve my new Sky wifi Max Router. I read that Sky recomend to only use the Sky Pods. Also I understand that the Sky WIFI Booster uses different tachnology so wont work with the Sky max Rouer. Is this correct?

@AD2466 your Devolo units should work if they use powerline networking ie connecting via the mains cabling. I suspect you maybe confusing t hese with using true WiFi extenders which can hit issues as the SR213 Sky hub uses the higher 5GHz band channels which many cheap esxtenders cannot use. Only Sky's extender pods can use the hub's closed 5GHz signal for backhaul to the hub potentially improving speeds they can relay.

In general it is better to use a set of matched WiFi sources to minimise interferencecand to allow roaming so either all Sky or all from the same third party.

@chrissie Thanks for you reply. I have the Devolo powerline extenders and Devolo dlan 1200+ WIFI units as well so its a mixed environment, I was woundering if the Devolo WIFI and the Sky Max signals would inetfear or run nicly together?
