WiFi keeps dropping or is weak

Is anyone else's WiFi weak or does it drop out? We have rind cameras with boosters and the WiFi is so weak, each day we have an issurme with the WiFi that it drops out. Is anyone else experiencing similar? If so, what have you done to resolve it please?

@BlakeD poor wifi coverage is a common issue while adding boosters can help the boosters themselves need a strong signal to work which if your cameras are outside can be an issue. Best solution I have found is a whole home wifi solution in my case has 3 units one on esch level connected to a Sky hub whose WiFi is not used, these create a mesh wifi network.This gives coverage for external devices like Ring doorbell, EV charger etc. but whether that works depends on the layout of your home and how it is built.

 

Sky's version is called WiFi Max which can supplybupmto 3 extenders for whichyou pay extra each month.see https://www.sky.com/help/articles/sky-wifi-max

Morning, thank you for your reply. We have sky WiFi max already and the strength is shockingly bad for what it's meant to be. Thank you for your advice though. I appreciate it.

@BlakeD have you asked Sky to send out a pod extender or arrange for an engineer to check your network bith if which can come as part of the WiFi Max package?
