How do I get a Wi-Fi booster. Despite having SkyQ box my signal still drops off 20 meters away

Have SkyQ and Sky hub but probably need a booster for Wi-Fi to reach the back of the house. (Stone walls in this 1900 terraced house).

Hi @Stephen+Kean 

If you have a Sky Q mini box and it wont connect in an area of your house due to poor signal then you can get a booster FOC from Sky.

 

If all your Sky Q boxes are working but you want a stronger WiFi signal in a particular room or want to add coverage to a room that doesnt have Sky Q in it then you'd need the broadband boost addon and then you can claim a booster from Sky. 

 

Both of these options require you to call or we can escalate your post here so you can chat to an agent.

Thanks for escalating however our team cannot add on Sky BB Boost as it is a contractual product which we cannot process. The booster also cannot be claimed until 14 days after Boost has been active. 

 

If you are wanting to add Sky BB Boost @Stephen+Kean, you can do so online below:

Or you can call and talk to one of our team who can add it on for you 🙂

Thanks
