Re: Sky WiFi. Extender
Sky will supply a maximum of 3 so you would need to get in touch with them if you want this third one.

Re: Sky WiFi. Extender
Hello @Shah01
If you have a weak wifi in some rooms here are a couple of alternatives to Sky Boosters that may be worth considering:
1. Invest in further hardware and create your own wifi Mesh with sufficient devices to cover the whole house. There are multiple suppliers you can pick from that all work well, however this can be relatively costly. I think they start at well under £100 but depends on how many devices you need.
2. Homeplugs are a cheaper altrnative that can provide a hardwired solution from your Sky Broadband router to other rooms using your mains wiring, you simply need a power socket near the router and another in the "target" room that then allows devices to be hardwired (or connection of a wifi hotspot inthe target room).
Personally I went with option 1 as some rooms in our bungalow were just too far away from the router to pick up a wifi signal reliably. I have Amazon Eero 6 devices that have worked flawlessly with both Sky and our previous provider TalkTalk. Bonus is that the patio outside is also covered and if I move to another broadband supplier when my contract ends I keep the exact same setup and just swap out the router.
There are plenty of very knowledgeable people on here that can offer advice / help in much more detail.
Cheers
