Which booster for Sky max hub SR213

[vbnjki]

I am confused with boosters (so many models, specs, mesh etc) and would appreciate some help..

I need to boost my signal from my Sky Ultrafast Plus (full fibre) with Sky Max Hub router (SR213).

I have looked at Sky Q Se210A on ebay but not sure if it is the right one

I have also looked at TP Link and bought the one below, but I think it is the wrong mesh

I am so confused and would much appreciate it if someone can anyone tell me which booster to buy?  Sky or TP-Link model?

The Sky booster which matches the Max Hub is the 'pod'

 

These are only legitimately available on loan from Sky with the WiFi Max subscription supplement.

My package is Sky Ultrafast Plus which guarantees speed to router but not wall to wall Wi-Fi.

i phoned sky and they say I would need to upgrade with a new 2 year contract and extra £5 a month.

is there another way to get one of these pods? Or a good alternative TP booster?

No: they shouldn't be available from any other source, and won't work without the subscription supplement anyway.

Or a good alternative TP booster?

Wireless signal extenders from other manufacturers should function to some extent after manual setup but won't integrate with the Sky Max system itself.

I guess my only option is to speak to Sky as I am tied into my current deal for another 14months so need to sort it.

just looked at there broadband packages and the wall to wall guarantee is only 3Mb/s.  That's very slow.

The speed guarantee when you have WiFi Max is higher,  it depends on your broadband package.

Or 10Mbs, or 25Mbs.  It's not actually a guarantee of speed though: it's a guarantee of a small refund if the stated minimum speed isn't achieved.

Perhaps worth noting that all WiFi is zero Mbs on the other side of a few walls.
