Unsure of the proper name of these, struggling to find any proper info online?
We've just about finished converting the loft in our small terraced house and obviously the wifi from our Sky router is fairly pants up there. It's also fairly pants in the study (first floor) so I had been looking at mesh systems for a little while, more info per my old thread here. We have ethernet ports in the study and loft now. My colleague mentioned that Sky sent out a wifi booster for him when he complained about his wifi. Do they still do this? I'm on a Sky staff account so thinking it would be quite easy to get them to send me one out.
If I can get a booster, does it support ethernet backhaul? Does it provide a proper mesh wifi on the same ssid? IE when I buy a second telly and have my main Q box, Q mini, and possibly the Q booster plugged in across the house - do they provide a proper mesh experience? Any downsides?
Just wondering if I could save myself some money and effort and try the booster. Really, our wifi is only used for phones and iPads etc. although if it's good enough for work video calls that's a plus. (We will both plug in when WFH mind, hence the ethernet getting run). We do have crappy phone signal here so wifi calling is a help, too.
Cheers.
