Could you indicate which model of 'BT plug in broadband extender' it is?

The black BT Whole Home disks only work with a matching BT Smart Hub, so aren't compatible with other ISPs.

OK, those are Powerline devices.  If you look up the model number online you'll see a process to factory reset them: that would be worth a try.

Just to check: you should have a pair of them?

@TimmyBGood yes that's right they are powe line adapters there is a pair and I factory reset them by holding down the button on top for 15 seconds on both adapters while plugged in as stated on manufacturers instructions but they still not working with sky hub, which I don't get as they were fine with my ee router. 

Thanks for trying to help.
