Sky Max Hub or 3rd party mesch

Sky Q, 1x mini and SR203 router, no boosters.  The wireless signal is unpredictable at best and we live in average size house. 2 dead zones where wireless coverage is very poor.  Currently using Powerline to provide internet to the dead zones.

 

Option 1 – Sky Max Hub + one/two Sky WiFi Pods

I appreciate that extenders are not wifi6, but a stable connection is more important than speed.

 

Option 2 – Asus XT8 or Deco XE75 Pro

I have already turned off the wireless signal on the Q box and mini.  I have direct ethernet from router to the Q box and Powerline from the mini.  Q box is fine, but the connection to the mini is around 17-20 Mbits

 

I don’t know if the Sky Max Hub + WiFi pod is going to provide better wireless coverage than the existing SR203 router.?

Are you full fibre or part fibre?

 

My leaning would be asus xt8 as main router and a few extra mesh nodes directly plugged into the full fibre ont

 

I don't believe the max of 3 wifi 5 pods can compete with asus wifi 6 triband capabilities
