Hard wiring wi Fi boosters

I have maxed out my sky q boxes but I still need additional wi fi boosters but the house is completely wired with cat 5. Which sky boosters can I use that will allow for hard wiring.? Thanks

Q boosters, v1 Sky Broadband boosters and Max 'pods' have at least one ethernet port.  The v2 Sky Broadband booster left this component off the specification.

In theory, yes, but note that the specification for the Q mesh is now approaching a decade old and really cannot be expected to compare favourably with modern mesh technology.

I would just use a modern mesh if you have the hard-wired backbone & switch off the sky wifi completely. Not insignificant cost but way better.
