Sky wifi Booster: How to Get One, Set Up and Models Available

This article discusses Sky's wifi Boosters, what they are and what they do, how to get one, and how much it costs to request one from Sky. We will discuss the three available models and their setup, offering a step-by-step guide. We remind users that a booster does not necessarily improve broadband speed but its range, so it is better to improve their broadband deal in some cases.

What is a Sky wifi Booster, and What Do They Do?

Are there wifi blind spots at your home? Do you wish to reach your Sky wifi while sitting outside in your home garden or verandah? A Sky wifi booster does just that. The Booster amplifies signals from your Sky wifi device, thereby extending (boosting) its reach. This extension/boost in coverage does not mean increased wifi speed.

Sky wifi Booster: Models Available

There are three models of the Sky wifi Booster, all of which are white-coloured plastic box devices.

1. Sky Wireless Booster
2. Sky Q Booster – For Sky Q users
3. Sky Broadband Booster

Sky wireless Booster

To reach those regions of your home that are more difficult to access, a Sky wifi booster can increase the wifi signal from your Hub. However, it won't increase wifi speeds. Your wifi coverage will improve.

For your Booster and Hub to produce the greatest signal:

• Please do not put them behind the television, on the floor, or in a cabinet; keep them in plain sight. It is recommended to leave 30 cm surrounding it.
• Do not put them around cordless phones, baby monitors, and other wireless gadgets.
