@AlanRob what time of the day is this or does it happen at different times and is your broadband from Sky or a third party ?

Happens every time has gone into standby, regardless of time of day, BT broadband, no issues with signal speed of internet

@AlanRob right that rules out a few things as you have BT broadband then the mini box doesn't use your wifi to connect it usesa mesh system from your main box.
You could try rebooting your main Q box ie
putting your box into Standby then switching it off at the wall for 30 seconds
switch it back on then follow the on screen instructions
then rebooting your mini box
If you still have the problem then it may be that your mini box is right on the limit of receiving the signal from your main box in which case you may need a Sky booster to extend the signal

@AlanRob it would need to be a Sky booster but as I said I have escalated this to Sky who should contact you through the forums and may be able to get a booster sent out if they think thats whats needed or be able to arrange a new box or engineers visit etc
