Moving from BT, will BT extenders and power line adapters work?

[PaulineJ]

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?

@PaulineJ 

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.

Thanks @jamesn123 

it is a BT Wi-Fi disc

@PaulineJ 

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.

@PaulineJ 

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.

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.

I'll order one of the pods as soon as my router arrives
