Sky Puck WiFi

2 pucks, both connected to wired ethernet work perfectly. In settings I've turned off 'WiFi enabled' . When first coming out of standby, the puck reports that WiFi is disconnected and attempts to direct me to settings to create a connection. After 30 seconds, I press home, and all is well until the next wake-from-standby.

Tried all setting variables, including factory restart, none of which cured the fault.

Hi @Pompey+Lad

When you turn WiFi off restart the puck ensure it's only trying to connect via ethernet. Also try turning on "Network standby mode" in Settings > startup and standby and turning off overnight power saving.

Thanks MikeAlanR

The wifi was disabled when reset. This did not overcome the problem.

Does anyone know if fixing an IP address in the Puck is possible? The Puck takes approximately 30 seconds to start up and realises an IP address issued by DHCP. I have a gigabit network with 900Mbps recorded on my laptop when connected to this cable. I have no desire to connect via WiFi, so this feature is disabled.

You should be able to reserve an address in your DHCP server which might help?

I’ve considered a separate subnet for my Sky boxes....
