TP Link mesh clashing with Sky Q setup

[denz1968]

Hi all

Hoping someone can help. I have just had fibre installed and the router is a Zyxel
I want to be able to extend the network across my house using mesh if possible. I currently have BT wifi using their discs as extenders but need about 4 discs for it to give whole home coverage.
I also have Sky Q using the sky extenders.

I was about to go for the TP Link mesh system with built in powerline, but read a review that said it clashed with the Sky system.

Can anyone advise me which way to go with this please? Does anyone have any prior use of the TP link mesh with powerline built in

Thanks

Powerline sucks, Sky uses it's own wireless connection between main Sky Q box and Sky Q mini boxes if you aren't using a Sky router, otherwise they will work via a wired or wireless connection. If you have a Sky router, it'll also enable hot spotting on the box automatically, if you don't, you can do it manually. None of this will clash with anyone else's mesh as such.

As part of the next Sky Q software release taking place between August and October 2021, we are changing our WiFi hotspot feature so that all Sky Q customers can access WiFi hotspots irrespective of your Broadband provider.

My broadband was with BT but is now with a fibre provider (Not SKY)

So I will have the Sky mesh for the TV side, and I need to create whole home coverage for the new fibre through the Zyxel router.
Any reccomendations without costing the earth
