No catch-up on smart tv

trk53 — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 13:34:17 GMT

My Sony smart TV is two rooms away (in a modern, timber-framed house) from the EE router - about 35', around two corners - yet catch-up is at best intermittent, at worst non-existent. It's too far for an ethernet connection. EE offer an extender for an extra monthly payment, but I'd prefer an outright purchase. Is the WiBoofy extender as good as it sounds? Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

Hi there @trk53

Thanks for coming to the community.

Hopefully other customers can offer their suggestions and experience soon for you

In the mean time, I would suggest getting in touch with our TV tech guides to get the connection looked into and discuss all available options.

Leanne.
