@Mikecarey84 you need to determine if the issue is your broadband connection or simply flaky wifi in your home. The former can be checked by the service checker in the My Sky app which checks the speed daily. If thst has dropped below the guarantee it should offer help.

 

If that is OK then your issue is likely to be poor WiFi in your home. Poor WiFi coverage is probably the most common question we get in the forum. In many homes a single Sky hub cannot provide a usable wifi signal in every room due to the layout and type of construction of the property especially in older homes. Assuming the hub is in the best possible position which is out in the open on a surfsce then the only answer is additional wifi sources. 

Your choice.is to either buy Sky's add-on WiFi Max bundle which can supply up to 3 extenders see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max or buy your own wifi system and use that instead of the Sky hub's WiFi.
