more than one booster?

A sky engineer told me you cant really have more than one booster as they interfeer with each other, however a sky tech service person on the phone told me you can and some people have more than 2! 

Anyone know of any issues with more than one, can tou simply have as many as possible to get the wifi signal all round the house?

Certainly possible to have more than one, but any mesh system will have a finite number of nodes beyond which performance suffers unacceptably.

For the Sky Q mesh, more than 8 Q nodes is where it starts to break down. 

So the basic and serr is yes you can have more than 1 booster. But how many more depends on your current Q setup.

@Kevin+just+want+t count the Sky boxes, add any boosters and one for the hub to give you the number of nodes.

Yes they are only sent where it is required for a Sky Q box to function or you have broadband boost on your subscription and one or more rooms in your home cant get a signal.
