Hi, I live in a large "U" shaped bungalow and have Wi-Fi issues because of the size and shape of the property and we currently have BT Broadband which is due for contract renewal. We also have Sky Q plus 3 Sky Mini Boxes, the furthest mini box is network cabled to the main Q box and the others connect via Wi-Fi. The BT Router provides the only Wi-fi signal to the Main Q box and all other devices except the Mini Boxes. The Wi-Fi signal is quite poor as is the local speed which is circa 30Mb, so no local superfibre here yet in our village. So my question is this - if I switch to Sky Broadband will the Sky Mini Boxes then act as Wi-fi extenders and create a better Wi-Fi mesh than i have at present?
Many thanks
Chris

Yes they should create a better WiFi environment but it cant be guaranteed as all environments are different.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@CWinter Just bare in mind that Sky still provide the service down the same line, so speeds will still be broadly similar to the property, if it's not a new new service and aren't yet lucky enough to get full fibre.
Sky will quote you a bare minumum speed they think can be provided if you take out a contract in your joining email.
