hawkfanz Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 it may work just moving the router to a different position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha Bu Le Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Have a google look at these, "TP Link" been using a pair for a few years now, they have performed very well. Plus they were reasonably priced, even from PC World. hink I paid about £16 ish pounds around 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 If you have a new sky router you can only use their booster (and it has to be a sky q booster not the older one) without a lot of faffing around the likes of TPlink and other big brands wont pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Glad you are pleased. It works very well for me (had it about 9 months). There were some 'teething troubles' - but now cured by an update (back in the summer). I have turned off the 'steering' as this didn't work well with my MacBook ........ which prefers to steer itself. It seems only Macs that need this tweak. iOS devices, security camera etc. were all OK. I have had to do a reset/restart once since the update in August.

figgy Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 I use a unifi WiFi access point at the other end of the house upstairs. It works very well. Tried a expensive tp link that sends signal down the power cable then puts out WiFi in a garden building, it's total carp and is going to get returned as it just keeps dropping out and re pairing.
