Re: Sky+ Box won't connect to the internet/router

Last night my Sky+ box seemed to loose its connection to the internet/router. The wifi is working, as my phone and devices are connected and working fine. I tried to reconnect by using the WPS key which told me there was an error (no code given) and I also tried connecting via the password on the router, again, failed message but no code given. I have tried resetting the router and switching everything off and back on but it still will not connect. Anyone had this and resolved? My Sky+ box is wireless, so I do not have one of the small boxes for on demand. Thanks

Re: Sky+ Box won't connect to the internet/router

I just upgraded my Sky Router to the Orbi Mesh System, and had countless hours trying to get the Sky box to connect to the WiFi. Similiar problems, it kept dropping out.

I manually enetered the IP adress, turned off the 2.4Ghz.. went through everything, and found out my Orbi router was in AP mode not Router mode. Fixed the problem instantly.  

BTW, I have the wifi turned off on my sky router and am just using that for the LAN. 

Happy 🙂

@Annie+UK I have done what you advised. Still no connection. Reset does not work. Connection to Broadband Router: FAIL, Connyto On Demand: FAIL, IP Address of this Sky now: 0.0.0.0, DHCP ON

Just click on the Housekeeping option in Services. this reboots everything and tidies it all up you then reconnect to your router and everything should work.

Re: Sky+ Box won't connect to the internet/router

Anyone having the same insane issue as me i have a fix. 

 

Sky q box wont connect to wifi, acknowledges that its there or not. 

 

1. Connect to your router and change the password. 

2. Press the reset button on your router.

3. On your sky q box go to settings. Type 0,0,1 then select.

4. Reset settings and confirm. Wait till the box resets and comes back to life.

5. Even if it doesnt recognise your wifi is on press the wps button on the sky box then the wps button on your router.

6. if god is on your side it should connect.

 

Only way i managed to get it to work after trying every fix on here there is clearly an issue with the skybox not ereasing a connection with the router.

I found if you click on the Housekeeping option it tidies everything up and connects to the WiFi.

That is for Sky Q customers but this thread is about the Sky+ boxes.

Re: Sky+ Box won't connect to the internet/router

My sky Box will not connect to internet router.  It packed up in December and I tried what all the people on the forum say switch everything off reboot but nothing would make it work.   It was off for about a month and I gave up and thought I would have to carry on without it,  but then  itjust started working again.  It has now stopped again and I cannot get catchup.  I have a skybox and a separate Sky wireless connector.  Have gone through everything as last time and all my other equipment, soundbar, mobiles, laptops are connecting but not the skybox.
