Mesh system

I have DECOs that I am wondering will this be able to work with the sky max hub I am just moving to sky broadband.

 

i understand the sky stream will need to connect to the sky max hub. 

But wanted to install my decos around the house for all over devices will this work?

A Stream puck is a simple wireless client device and will talk to any wireless access point.

 

You may be thinking of Q Mini boxes which are much fussier.

Ahh yes that would make sense as at the moment  we are with a different provider at the moment and the sky q mini box struggles with the decos and always disconnecting. 

But moving house next week and moving to sky.

@JGRANT1998 I have three Stream pucks and a Glass TV networked to my Deco system which operates in Access Point mode behind a Sky Max hub.

I don't have multiroom but don't the Q mini boxes have an ethernet port? If you have a Deco nearby, just wire them up and let the far superior Deco's deal with the WiFi connection.
