https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Internet-connection-keeps-dropping-out-on-Sky-Q-mini-box-in-summer-house/m-p/4582599#M380239 <P>I have a Sky Q box and 2 mini boxes in the house. I have a third mini box in my summer house where the internet connection is poor and unreliable, therefore often unable to connect to my WIFI affecting viewing. I have a WIFI extender also in the house but the mini box only links to the main house router via the other Sky Q/mini boxes. I just don't know how I can boost the WIFI from the main router to get a good signal in the summer house, as won't connect to the extender. I've read mini boxes can act as hotspots but when I look at advanced settings on my Sky TV it lists automatic or manual IP addresses. There is no option to turn them mini boxes on as hotspots as I've read.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be extremely grateful.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Steve</P> Fri, 08 Mar 2024 10:36:22 GMT Steve123456 2024-03-08T10:36:22Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Internet-connection-keeps-dropping-out-on-Sky-Q-mini-box-in-summer-house/m-p/4582599#M380239 <P>I have a Sky Q box and 2 mini boxes in the house.

Trying to push the Sky Q mesh out of your house into an exterior building without a cable is just asking for trouble and will likely never work reliably.</P> Tue, 12 Mar 2024 11:01:39 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Internet-connection-keeps-dropping-out-on-Sky-Q-mini-box-in-summer-house/m-p/4585756#M380940 jamesn123 2024-03-12T11:01:39Z
