Try going through this to see if it helps:

If not and if you have Wi-Fi Max on your account then Sky will supply up to 3 pods as you can read about here:

Re: Wifi

Hello @Matt353 

 

Living in a bungalow we also had problems with the wi-fi signal reaching the rooms at the back (router located at the front of the property and not movable), not just with Sky but also TalkTalk who we moved from to Sky last year. If you can't get boosters as described by @caesarome then there are a couple of other options you might try:

 

1. Invest in further hardware and create your own wifi Mesh with sufficient devices to cover the whole house. There are multiple suppliers you can pick from that all work well, but this can be relatively costly (however once invested, a Mesh system would work with any broadband supplier if you eventually move away from Sky).

2. Homeplugs/Powerline devices can provide a hardwired solution from your Sky Broadband router to other rooms using your mains wiring, you simply need a power socket near the router and another in the "target" room that then allows devices to be hardwired (or connection of a wifi hotspot in the target room).

 

I went with option 1 (4 x Amazon Eeros), which also made wifi available on our patio outside which is great for the summer.

 

Hope that you get sorted.
