WiFi dead spot fix?

Hello. I have a Sky hub SR213-02-UK-wht set up in the middle of my house on a fibre 500 package. This is where the open reach socket is. The WiFi reaches most places in the house. But speeds drop in the living room and there is a large dead spot in there where the connection drops completely. The signal is having to travel a ways and through 2-3 solid walls. Is there a mesh / extender that is compatible with this set up? Or could I purchase a second Sky hub and wire it up in the living room (which has a single ethernet connector)? Thanks.

@SnowInformer Do not know if the sky Extender pods support wired backhaul so someone else will jump in to confirm or not, but if you do have a single Ethernet point wired back to your Sky Max hub, then that is definitely the way to go, if indeed wired backhaul does work!

 

Wireless Mesh through 2-3 solid walls more than likely will just not cut it, but it would be a try and see! 

Non sky equipment then sky Max guarantee is out the window!
