No signal on fibre in bedrooms on same floor

[Joh5]

Basically got sky super fast and can't get a signal in the two bedrooms just 15 feet away from the router. Have plugged the "booster" (hexagon) into one of the bedrooms after being told it runs the WiFi through the electrics but it's still very poor to a PlayStation in one room and an echo dot in another bedroom

Sky's boosters dont use the electrics for a backhaul connection. That would be a powerline adapter

Hi, yes sorry that's what it is! Tried having it in one of the rooms with no luck but can you tell me if it will work in an extension or does it have to be directly connected to the mains thanks.

It will work in any socket because it doesnt use the power cables for data it uses wireless. You need to place it halfway between the router and room that needs the signal boost, not in the room itself.

Sky Max booster pods do not use Powerline networking.
