Can you use two routers in one house so you can get connection in two different places?

Hi there,

Yes, it is possible to deploy multiple routers in the same household on the same network. There are several methods of doing this - You can deploy your second router as a Wireless Bridge (Acts like an additional access point), Wireless Repeater (Repeats YOUR wireless signal) or a Universal Repeater (Repeats EVERY wireless signal in range).

It is unlikely that a Sky Broadband router will have either of the above features implemented in them, so you may have to re-flash the router with open-source firmware. I would recommend DD-WRT.

Alternatively, you could purchase a new router that has this functionality built into it. Many vendors (Such as NETGEAR, TP-LINK, Linksys, etc) have models that are designed to function in this way.
