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.?

Re: Sky Max Hub or 3rd party mesch
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
Sky Stream , Sky Superfast, SR203 router, Tp link td w9970 + Asus RT AX58U (backup), Xbox Series X, google home mini, LG 55 inch uhd tv, with Dolbyvision, samsung a5 2017 and samsung s21
