Setting up the main sky q box as a range extender

Mark436 — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 22:16:31 GMT

My main sky q box it at the other end of my house and is hard wired to my router. However my iPhone cannot see my home Wi-Fi. Do I have to switch this on, in my q box and if so where is the setting? Thank you 🙂

@Mark436

Which router do you have in use?

With a Sky Q Hub or Sky Broadband Hub the hotspot functionality should be automatically enabled.

@Mark436 to add the WiFibextendercfacility on Q boxes does not work with the white Sky Max hub unforunately.

I cannot seem to find anything on the sky router to confirm what model it is nor on the Q box. Last night my iphone picked up a signal but it didin't have the full bars and I was sat about 10 feet away from the sky Q box. I'm not convinced it is emitting a wifi signal as surely I should have all the bars on my iphone for signal strength.
