Create a mesh Network with Wifi Hub 3

Peterfletcher — Tue, 26 May 2026 09:21:05 GMT

I have recently upgrade to Fibre 500 with VOIP this is using the Wifi Hub 3. Talktalk have told me that the Total Home Wifi solution will not work with the package i have presumably because i have VOIP.

I have ask them about what solutions they have for creating a mesh network and they told me i just need one wifi booster (£8 a month) to create a mesh network. This doesn't sound right to me.

Anyone got experience of using the Talktalk wifi extender with Wifi Hub 3

@Peterfletcher, @KeithFrench should be able to help you with the advice for the booster.

It has been possible to simply buy it outright, so that you don't have to keep paying that £8.

The £8 seems to refer to Total Home WiFi fee, so not sure why you were told you couldn't actually have it but were given that price:

NB The "extender kit" refers to a different product, no longer available:

The correct product to refer to is the booster:

So with the booster(s) does it create a mesh network or are they just extenders

Hi @Peterfletcher

Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been out most of the day.

I can help every step of the way with this. The WiFi Hub 3 combines with the Sagemcom FAST266 WiFi Booster to form a WiFi 6 mesh. I have tested this mesh system thoroughly. The Booster, unless TalkTalk have changed its pricing policy, used to be available for a one-off £30 purchase. £8 per month is probably a confusion with the price for Total Home WiFi.

Let me know if you want any other information about it.
