Hi,
I have Sky Q and Sky Broadband. My Q box and mini box are both connected by Wi-Fi, and all is good. I want to connect a second mini box to use in my garage. The Wi-Fi doesn't extend to there even when I use an extender or repeater, so I plan to connect this box by Ethernet cable (as I have ducting).
Is this possible?
If so, should it be wired to the router or to the Q box?
If I connected to the router, could I split the signal to hardwire my PC (also in the garage)?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreHi @Willie+F With Sky broadband you should be able to connect it to your router (via Gigabit Unmanaged Switch(es)). Simply test it with your existing Mini box.

Hi,
This is exactly what I want to do ...i.e.
I.e. connect a Main Sky Q box, 2 x Sky Q Mini boxes and my Sky Broadband all together via Cat5 Ethernet to a Hub/Switch. I assume the Q Mini's are then extending the wifi network in the areas they are located (e..g a garage).
It sounds like you made it work, which is great news!
Can you advise of exactly how you did it please?
- Which boxes connected to which boxes?
- did you use a hub / switch? in which case, what product did you use? etc
Much appreciated
