Alternative to using wps button when restarting multi room units?

Main skyq built behind media wall. Can I restart multi room units without access to the wps button?

If you are connecting the mini boxes by WiFi to the main Q box (or the Q router if on Sky broadband) then when you carry out a network reset on the mini you have to press the WPS button on the main Q box (or on the Sky Q router if nearer)

Many thanks for your response. Just to be clear so i can use either the WPS on main box or sky router ?

Yes @Ghost1555

If you are on Sky Broadband then you can use it's WPS to connect Q devices.

This of course depends on the distance involved. More often the main Q box is nearer to the mini however.

Thanks again! My Sky broadband is nearer the mini boxes so I'll give that a go... 🤞👍
