Sky Q limiting Gigabit Speed

reddwarfcrew — Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:36:57 GMT

Hi, my set up has been working flawlessly until the past couple days. I had consistently been gettin 900+ dl speed but now it is around 300.

My set up is Router into a switch (switch is in a different room). Then AppleTV, SkyQ (and other stuff into the switch).

After a lot of diagnostic I have found that it is when the SkyQ is connected that the teh dedegration from 900->300 happens.

I have tried a new cable, different port, rebooted everything and re-set the network settings but whenever i plug teh skyq back in, it drops to 300.

Any ideas? Ta.

This is a well documented issue and currently doesn't have any solution other than using a non-sky router or only using the Q boxes on WiFi. I doubt it will be fixed either as its been an issue for a long time and Sky Q is approaching its 10th Birthday

Yeah I've experienced the problem before of it limiting to 100Mbps, but it sorted itself out and has been fine for a good year or so. Now it's back to limiting around the 300Mb mark.

My mini's are all wired up as I suffer stuttering when using the WiFi connection (and one mini is in the room above where the router is).

Annoying.
