Hi @Elizabeth66

Assume this is your main Q box/
Have you carried out a Network reset.

Network Reset found in Q box Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Follow instructions to connect by WiFi to your router.
If you are on Sky broadband you will be asked to press the WPS button on the Sky router. (Not on the Q box as the Network reset will start the main Q box WPS automatically). Make sure you press the WPS button on the Sky router and not the reset button.
if you are on 3rd party (non Sky ) broadband then you need to enter the SSID and password for the router 2.4 Ghz WiFi band.

I have sky broadband and having the same issue. Internet is working and all other devices are connecting but not my skyQ box.

So frustrating.

I had a visit from sky engineer who said it is a 3 problem, as 3 did an update and not compatible with Sky box.

Seemingly 'boffins' working on a fix. I have had this problem now for 8 days and still not fixed.

I got support from an engineer over the phone had to do a master reset.

They talked me through the process step by step. I suggest calling. This is a known problem.

Has been fine ever since.

FWIW - I would suggest to anyone having any issue with WiFi and their Sky Q box to purchase something like WiFi Universal Extender . With this you can to connect your Sky Q box to the Universal Externder using the ethernet connection of the Sky Q box and then have the Iniversal Extender join your home WiFi network. You then go to the Network setup menu on the Sky Q box and change its network connection from WiFi to ethernet (you need to be in Expert mode, which is covered in other posts here).

This will completely do away with any WiFi issues on the Sky Q box, as it will use ethernet to connect to the internet istead of WiFi. The WiFI module of the Sky Q box is notoriously flaky and troublesome.
