Any idea if these can be used with sky's own wifi booster.Got sky booster downstairs but ideally need some upstairs to improve signal.

as mentioned above you connect one to the Sky Hub via ethernet then put the other in the area you want better coverage using the WPS button you can then repeat the main WiFi in that new area with same connection information.

You plug an ethernet cable from your modem/router into one of these, and plug the other one in another part of your house. Then an ethernet cable from that one to whatever you want. I, for example, have one attached to my router and another behind my TV. This is plugged into my Xbox. I also have one plugged in upstairs, and this in connected to a Sky box, for on demand.

Thx OP
My house is covered fine but my kitchen has very thick walls all around, alexa can hardly play tune in always stopping and starting so this shoudl help me boost the kitchen coverage.
It will work with anything with an ethernet connection.
