new sky stream install .. options for TV + internet in garage conversion
Hi, I'm a new UK customer and I've just purchased Broadband Ultrafast ( Fibre), Sky Stream + Sports and two full home pucks, and an engineer to due to visit at the end of the month. We are switching from VM.
I'm wondering what my options are if I wanted to extend the internet ( for TV streaming) to a converted garage which is right next to my property, but not adjoined. The wifi would also need to cover the 2 story property.
Can I request any wireless extender?
Can I upgrade my order to have 2 x internet hubs ( separate fibre cable to each) both working with the same TV package ?
Any other suggestions appreciated.

If you've opted to add the WiFi Max subscription supplement to the subscription, yes, but not specifically to serve an external location.

No, that's not a legitimate FTTP topology and so not possible to order.

Ethernet cable from the Sky Hub to the separate building is preferable, otherwise Powerline networking may be viable.

Thanks
It seems I need to discuss with Sky whether my garage should be considered a differen property or not.
There is just a very small seperation and it was built at the same time as my house, so it's not not a later add-on.

The garage and house both share the same fuse box, but the garage electricity seems to be controlled by a different fuse. Does that mean it's on a different ring ? Thanks.

Doesn't sound like all your plugs are connected to each other ... powerline networking may not work🤔
