Sky Q Booster Boxes

AJ31 — Sat, 16 Mar 2024 15:28:53 GMT

Hi,

I have Vodafone Broadband.

For Sky I have 1 main sky box, 2 mini Q boxes and 2 boosters. I now have all my Sky boxes connected back to my router via ethernet cables.

Do I still need the Sky mini booster boxes or are they not required due to the ethernet connection?

Hi @AJ31

When all boxes are connected by Ethernet you can then switch off all Q box WiFi. No boosters are required.

Start with main Q box and first carry out a Network reset with the Ethernet connected.
Network Reset found in Q box Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Select connect wired to non Sky Router (or Sky router if on Sky Broadband). Do not carry out any WPS and just wait for the box to connect. It may take a couple of minutes. If it does not connect there is an issue with the Ethernet connection.
As soon as it connects immediately go into the Q box hidden menu and turn off WiFi.

To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Go to Network to turn off both bands of WiFi. Confirm before exit.

Repeat the network reset on any minis in the Mini Home menu with the Ethernet connected. Again do not do any WPS and just wait for it to connect.
Once it is connected immediately go into the mini hidden menu (same procedure as above) and turn off both bands of WiFi. Confirm before exit.
