@Dom8100 Lack of wireless wi-fi in specific locations is what you have to take care off, your posting has no detail apart from you just got wi-fi installed!

Re: No WiFi in some rooms

The easiest way to fix this is with the 'Sky Max Pod Wireless WiFi Booster Extender SE411-UK'. You can connect up to three to boost your wifi range and get wifi in all rooms.

 

You need to make sure you have a white Sky Max router (or Sky Gigafast+ Hub ), then you can just plug in the pods around your home:

You can either pay an increased subscription fee (by adding 'wifi max' to your subscriptions) to get max pods or buy them from ebay. 

 

If you are more technical or know someone who is you can add any wifi mesh system (that has an 'access point mode') to the sky router and turn off the router's built-in wifi. That way you have separated your wifi from your router and ISP. If you change router and/or ISP your wifi is unaffected.

@aac74 The flea bay method is not advised for the reason that the pods are tied to the account, so potentially buying useless parts that will not work and sky will not support them as they do not belong to the new user!
