Re: Internet signal in rear of house
@Danjames4287 WiFi signals lose power passing through solid objects like walls, the denser the wall to more power is lost. The signals are blocked by anything made of metal. Therefore ensure your hub is in the best position in your front room which is out in the open on surface above things like radiators.
Sky can sell you an add-on like Sky WiFi Max or Broadband Boost which will give you boosters if required but as the boosters need a decent signal to work they msy not work that well in an older home with solid walls. If there is a hallway placing a boister there might help.
