Low connection speed upstairs
The internet speed on my router is good, but the main laptop workstation upstairs in the study gets slow connection speeds, likely due to the position compared to the router.
Is it possible to be sent a wifi booster to put near this laptop.

Re: Low connection speed upstairs
Sky loans wireless booster hardware free under the terms of the 'WiFi Guarantee' element of 'Broadband Boost' and the 'Enhanced Wall to Wall WiFi Guarantee' part of the 'WiFi Max' subscription supplement: they don't otherwise provide or sell them except to resolve issues with Sky Q. Inevitably some have leaked onto a certain auction site, but Sky won't offer support with using these.
Confusingly the 'Wall to Wall WiFi Guarantee' doesn't actually provide booster hardware, and is essentially a sales lead generator for the supplements mentioned above.

Note that a 'booster' should be halfway between the router and the problematic location: there's very little point having it near a client device, because it's no more powerful than any other wireless hardware.
