We have Sky Q and they want £5 a month to boost the signal to reach rooms in the top of our house.
A booster costs about £12 so will it work with Sky Q?

It might work. But get a well known make, e.g. Netgear or TP-LINK and buy from Amazon where you can return it easily whrn it doesn't work. How far is it from Sky Q router to top of your house?knightstyle said:We have Sky Q and they want £5 a month to boost the signal to reach rooms in the top of our house.

They work great.1 -
£120 for a powerline pair? Seems a lot but if you need the speed... A half-decent mesh kit for £100 will cover your whole house and more... https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/tp-link-deco-m4-whole-home-mesh-wi-fi-system-3543884Sebo027 said:I recently bought a pair of these:

Thanks everyone. I have just bought a secondhand Sky booster, SE210 so will see how that works.0

Have you checked the wifi signal and interference with other channels from neighbours?
If not - you can get a free app such as WiFi Analyser from Google Play store (other apps are available) and swich your wifi to a less congested channel if there is one available.1 -
Well I set up the Sky booster and the difference all over the house is amazing, pages load so much quicker. Well worth buying.0

I have no idea what a sky booster is. But how much did it cost?

You can also get one from Sky for £5 a month.0
