Just moving from BT, and have ordered Sky broadband super fast 35 with WiFi max. Will my BT Wi-Fi extenders and powerline adapters work with the Sky equipment?

That loosks like a serial number rather than a model number.
Either way I think you can safely assume they wont work with Sky if they are the black disks.

Which BT WiFi extenders do you have? A picture or model number would be useful
As for your powerline adapters they should work with any ISP.

Re: Moving from BT, will BT extenders and power line adapters work?
There is 2-3 different types of BT WiFi disks, hence why I asked for a photo or model number.
As a general rule if they are black disks it wont work with any other ISP than BT. If they are white they should work with Sky.

Many thanks @jamesn123
unfortunately it's a black disc so not looking hopeful.
The number on the back (which I think is the model no) is 78DD12CF6580
Unfortunately I'm having trouble uploading a photo.

Re: Moving from BT, will BT extenders and power line adapters work?
WiFi Max comes with the option to claim Max 'pods' (dedicated booster hardware)
It's a proprietary system, and unlikely to play nicely with BT hardware which also tends to be designed only for BT Broadband.
Note that BT Digital Voice phones and phone extenders will also not function where BT is not the ISP.
