Wifi Max user review

[TOPS1]

Since writing my initial comments I have since discovered reading other comments that the Sky Max WiFi hub does not work as a mesh system as did the Sky Q hub I had. So I have a main Q TV box and 3 Q mini boxes plus I had two extender boosters on the old Q hub which worked perfectly in our large house, so effectively had a mesh system of five devices all talking to each other as a mesh system all over the house. I now just have the Max hub and one Pod extender, so a WiFi distribution system now of two devices rather than five. No wonder there's now dead spots all over the house. I feel mis-sold. An engineer is scheduled to provide additional extender hubs. Disappointing experience.

Be very careful saying such stuff, the believers don't take too kindly to the heresy of criticising Sky in this parish 😱 they'll demand you're burned at the stake.

Well that's just the way it is, it may well work ok after an engineer visits and fits one or more additional extender Pods.  Given that Sky themselves setup the previous system with a multiple device mesh system you might have thought from their records that they could see that the Max basic system wasn't going to be enough in this size house without additional extenders. I didn't ask for it, they pushed it at contract renewal. I expect to rely on their professional expertise. Result is some 3 weeks of rubbish connectivity. Trumpian threats of heresy for criticism of Sky is amusing.

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, I'm going to dig my heels in and stick with Q for as long as they are transmitting through that satellite.

I see so many people in here who have migrated over to the streaming service voicing their discontent and unhappiness after having made the switch. You don't go a day without seeing folk proclaiming their regrets for having left Q in here.

You could rip my finger nails out with pliers and I'd still refuse to buy that pony Sky Glass unit for all sorts of reasons. So it's safe to say that will never ever happen and as for Sky Stream, well I'll resist that till the bitter end because it doesn't do what I want and need whilst Sky Q does.

I know the believers get irritated whenever someone says that but it is what is, if it grinds their gears that's their problem 👊🏻
