can I use 2 sky wifi hubs?

Hi there, Sorry if this is a bit long-winded.

I have my phone line enter the property at the far end and have always suffered with wifi signal at the other end, all the foil insulation in the walls doesn't help. I have run network cables all over the house so fixed items like TV's will have a wired connection and two cables for a mesh WAP system. so my question is why can't i use 2 sky wifi hub's? one in it's original position with a temporary TP Link wifi extenders and another connected to my internet switch. As soon as i power the other hub up, it knocks the origanl hub off. I went into settings and turned the wifi off for the second hub that will only be connected to the switch but it has the same result.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

@Chris683 You can do but it's not easy and you may just have to look at finding setting up a double Nat using two Hub's.

@Chris683  I'm presuming you upgraded recently?  If so Sky will want the other hub back, the easiest option is to use the network switches to extend the network internally rather then 2 hubs.

 

As you have already found out 2 hub together are problematic.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.
