I've just received my Sky Max pack - new router, wifi extender pods etc. I note that the new extender pods plug directly into a socket ie no power lead. In my house, this is not ideal as most sockets are hidden behind furniture + I have ethernet hubs around the house...but they are not located ideally to connect an ethernet cable lnto the new wifi Pod which is plugged into a power socket. Before I set up.yhe new router and change passwords/connect all.my devices etc - Does anybody know if my old wifi extenders will continue to work with my new Sky Max router ? - because, due to the restrictions of having to plug the new wifi Pod extenders directly into a power socket, I don't think I will be able to use them. Note - I have a large Victorian house on 3 floors with solid walls and when I installed Sky Q 4 Trs ago, it took some.time and effort to get acceptable wifi all around the house - I don't want to upgrade to Sky Max and risk wifi coverage issues

Which 'extenders' are those? Sky Q and Sky Broadband boosters aren't supported by the Sky Max software stack.

When you say 'aren't supported' - do you mean they won't work or just aren't supported/recommended ? Is there a workaround ?

I believe they just won't make a connection with a Max Hub by using WPS, so are effectively useless.
