Hi .
I have a small business property and need to boost my signal to a couple of other floors above. I currently have BT business broadband Hub 5 in the office. . I have ( and need) a static IP address .
Can anyone advise on which simple extenders/boosters that will operate with my static IP?
I ordered "whole home wifi quad bundle" from BT but had to return it as I was subsequently told by BT they do not work with static IP,....so I'm reluctant to buy more without some advice please!

They were talking rubbish. A static public IP address has no effect on your LAN WiFi/IP addressing.

Try asking on the BT Business forum, as this is the residential forum, and residential users do not have a static IP address, although it should not make any difference apart from the BT Business hub is different.
