Extending Broadband Signal to Garden
Hi, I have a sky q hub with two extenders in my house as its a fairly old house with thick walls. Had an engineer out today who installed the second extender for me. Signal now reaches around the house but the issue I have is that it isn't reaching out far enough into my garden to keep my Ring cameras online.
I don't think I'm going to be able to get any more extenders out of Sky as they will claim my house is now fully covered. Does anyone have any similar experience and can recommend a different brand I can just buy myself that will work in conjunction with the sky extender?
Thanks in advance

Sky-branded boosters are available online, although their legitimacy is debatable. It's worth noting that they aren't in any way weatherproof, so would have to be located indoors. You could choose to get more range by wiring an outdoor-rated access point back to your Sky Hub using ethernet and PoE.

@Graham598 Yes I already have two boosters so won't get any more from sky as I'm wanting to get the signal boosted out to my garden. Hence why I was wondering whats the best thing to buy myself.
@TimmyBGood I didn't know you could buy sky boosters online, strange sky don't sell them online as I'm sure there are plenty people in my situation especially after the last couple of years.

Adding a different brand of extender at this point will likely cause you a headache with connectivity. You may need to look at an outdoor AP or direct cable connection
