Hi @Anonymous User 

 

All you get is a NOW Hub 2 Router.

 

If you are looking at wifi booster or wifi extender or power line adpaters then you need to source them yourself.

 

Are you currently using any wifi booster with your current ISP ?

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

Not familiar with the BT wifi booster that your Son plugs into his PC.

 

You never know it may work on the NOW wifi network (maybe give it a try when your NOW Broadband goes live).

 

I don't use any wifi booster or wifi extender with my NOW Hub 2 Router, where the Router on it's own without any wifi booster works fine in my home setup / home environment.

 

If the BT wifi booster doesn't work with the NOW Router, then maybe in the Community search box type something like "wifi booster" , wifi extender " to see if any forum members recommends any devices that works with their NOW Router.

So I have BT with the Wi-Fi booster.

 

The Wi-Fi booster comes with an Ethernet port, which I use in my office for my works laptop. 

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help
