Can I connect an additional router to my network which uses an SE210 booster
I currently have Sky Multiroom with 3 sky Q boxes (1x main + 2x mini).
As I had weak signal, the Sky Q mini boxes could not connect to the main Sky Q box and the engineer gave us an SE210 booster to form a mesh network, which works perfectly.
They are rolling out FTTP into the street and my existing provider (vodafone) want to upgrade me, but this means the new Fibre Link going into the wall on one side of the house.
The current Vodafone Intelligent WiFi Hub router uses the phone into the middle of the house which now wouldn't be possible so any devices used on the opposite side of the house may need an additional booster.
I'm unsure if the range on the new Broadband router will be any better than the current one and don't want to take the risk it will screw everything up.
I haven't looked at Sky Broadband yet, but I'm not tied into Vodafone so change may be an option if it solves all of the issues.
Question If I add an additional wifi booster into the wifi, would this disable the SE210? If so can I use the new booster to boost the connection betwen the main Sky Q box an the minis? If it can't boost then what alternatives are there?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @dchantry
I am not quite understanding your question, do you mean add another another Sky booster or 3rd party booster? You can add multiple Sky boosters without issue, but you cant use 3rd party boosters to connect Sky Q mini boxes together.
