Everything has worked fine for many years until our ISP came and repaired our internet setup which was having speed issues. This has been fixed, but that same afternoon the connection light on the booster went out. This normally happens if we have a power cut so I have paired it many times back to the main box using the WPS function. However I could not get WPS working to connect the two boxes. I called Sky who sent an engineer next day. He was here for over 3 hours and tried several new boosters and new Sky Q boxes, but whatever he tried WPS just wouldn't work. He guessed it was probably to do with our ISP setup (we have a 'line of sight' setup as we have no internet here yet). So I now have to run an ethernet cable from the TP-Link extender in the kitchen across the floor to the mini box and it all works fine. Unfortunately I can't put the TP-Link where the min box is as the speed is too slow on that side of the room for it to work. I want to get rid of using the cable (for obvious reasons) but without WPS how can I get the wifi signal from the TP-Link to the mini box ? Any ideas&nbsp; ?</P><P>Many Thanks.</P> Sun, 13 Oct 2024 14:26:21 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4785886#M669465 Timbo_1960 2024-10-13T14:26:21Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4785909#M669468 <P><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4215527">@Timbo_1960</a>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The mainstream alternative to WiFi would be using a pair of Powerline ethernet adaptors to put a network signal over the mains cabling.</P> Sun, 13 Oct 2024 14:57:55 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4785909#M669468 TimmyBGood 2024-10-13T14:57:55Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4785968#M669477 <P>Yes I'm using TP-Link through the mains cable, but the signal is too weak where the mini box is hence the cable across the floor !&nbsp;</P> Sun, 13 Oct 2024 16:23:35 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4785968#M669477 Timbo_1960 2024-10-13T16:23:35Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4786067#M669487 <P><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4215527">@Timbo_1960</a>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I was suggesting a ethernet-only Powerline rather than a Powerline to ethernet extender: if the mains circuit is a problem then some models cope with that better than others.</P> Sun, 13 Oct 2024 18:52:25 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4786067#M669487 TimmyBGood 2024-10-13T18:52:25Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4786100#M669496 <P>OK thanks, do you have any makes / models you would recommend - (I'm not very technical) !</P> Sun, 13 Oct 2024 19:26:59 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/How-to-connect-to-Sky-Minibox-without-WPS/m-p/4786100#M669496 Timbo_1960 2024-10-13T19:26:59Z
