@Hayne1 if you pay for Sky's Broadband Boost or WiFi Max bundles call Sky and ask for another booster.

 

However if the areas of your home you have issues with are far from the hub daisy chaining boosters may not be the best solution. As each jump halvescthe bandwidth so if booster A gets 100Mb/s from the hub it can only connect booster B at 50Mb/s which in turn can only provide 25Mb/s to devices connected to it.

 

There are better solutions such as powerline networking that uses the mains wiring to carry the data or a whole home wifi mesh system that uses multiplexsatellites so have multiple paths to use increasing speeds.
