When I check for a Network for my Firestick, it shows a very strong Sky option

However, I do not have Sky broadband, so is that Sky Network option the actual SkyQ box and can I use it to connect to the Firestick? I do not have a password for it.

Hey @TimmyBGood ,

Thanks for getting back to me. I have done that and turned on the hotspot but it still requires a password ?

Hi @kohireland

Hotspot performance is not guaranteed.

The password will be your normal Network.

hi @kohireland

in case of any confusion - you can't connect directly to the SKY wifi you see - the hotspot is still your home wifi

Thanks Oldfella and Nigea99, I get you! I tried to connection, using the password for my router and it came up with a connection error and the Sky Network is now not available (i.e. the connection symbol is crossed out). I am confused. I do have Hot Spot truned on btw.
