I have switched from PlusNet to Sky broadband. Rather than changing the configuration on all my devices I have reset the broadband SSID to the PlusNet name. This works fine.
I also have a couple of Sky TV Boosters and Broadband boosters. As a result I have a network called SKYnxxn (not real name).
Ideally they two "networks" would share the same SSID.
Any thoughts?

@andyoxford what colour Sky hub do you have and are you talking about Sky Q boxes and boosters? If you have a white Sky hub the Q boxesxand boosters will have a second SSID that is quite normal only the main Q box connects tomyour new hub it producesca second SSID the other Q kit connects tomyour.

Re: Sky booster has a different SSID
Thanks for this. Yes, I do have the white hub and Sky Q (should probably have mentioned that 🙄).
So to clarify, in my case, the SkyQ box connects to the PLUSNET SSID and in creates a SKY xxxx SSID which is used by the Sky Mini boxes.
Can I use the WIFI Hotspot option on SkyQ to extend my main network?

Re: Sky booster has a different SSID
@andyoxford no you cannot connect third party devices to the Sky Q SSID thst only eirks with compatable Sky hubs which are black hence the colour question.
