Sky booster has a different SSID

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?

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?
