Hi, I'm currently using the Sky Max white router and the supplied extender , the Max Pod. I'm finding the pod performance poor both in connection reliability and range. Has anyone used an alternative to the Pod which outperforms the pod in range and reliability?

@Crickt+Fan you can buy any number of WiFi Mesh systems but as a rule it is better to either use Sky's WiFi or replace it with a third party system rather than trying your mix the two. The Sky Max hub is dsigned to be used with the pods and it really is not going to w ork w ell with a simple thitd party booster.
I use a simpke TP-Link Deco M4 system with 3 units which provides minimum 150Mb/s in every room in my 3 level home.
65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode
