Shall I implement Sky Wi-Fi Max

vincentwitts — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 12:59:57 GMT

I have a Grade II listed property. Som e of the walls are 1m thick. I invested in Google Nest x 4 but the service is patchy to say the least. If I add Sky Wi-Fi Max, will I get the maximum 3 x AP routers/devices, when i place my order, or do I get one, then have to say it doess not work (which i doubt it will), then request another, then have to say it doess not work (which i doubt it will), then request the 3rd.

a) Can i request all three APs from the strat

b) if not, how long will that process take to trial all the APs to get service?

Thanks

@vincentwitts

If you already have 'Wi-Fi Max' or now choose to purchase it as an add-on (currently £6 a month I believe), Sky will loan you up to 3 booster pods. Call Sky to arrange the first one.

Additional pods then require an engineer visit to check your set up, https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max

Daniel,

Thanks - No I have not yet signed up to Wi-Fi Max.

But I know I will need more than the initial one booster.

Is there anyway I can sign up top Wi-Fi Max and get all three or even better get an enginee ro visit to set it up with the correct number of boosters to provide connecticvity to all my rooms?

@vincentwitts

You'll need to call Sky to see if that's possible.

No: that's not the Sky policy.

Perhaps also keep in mind that ISP hardware is built to budget: if a third party mesh product hasn't been satisfactory then it's quite unlikely the Max pods will be any better.
