Hi @gemman

If your Sky Booster does not connect, the light on the WPS button may go solid amber or flash red.

On Sky Broadband you can use the WiFi booster to connect to your router or your main Q box. That's provided it is a Sky Q WiFi booster.

If on 3rd party broadband you can only use it connect to your main Q box.

If you main Q box is successfully connected to your Sky router then you can use the Q booster located between your main Q box and the mini.

Assuming the main Q box is connected correctly you need to set up the Q booster as follows.

Position the booster approx midway between the main Q box and the mini.

Hold the WPS button on your booster for 3 seconds until it flashes amber. Then hold the WPS button on the front of your main Q box for 3 seconds until it flashes amber - You'll need to do it within 2 minutes.
After a few minutes, the connected light on the booster should turn green. You're all set up.

Tip: Need to move your booster after you've connected, don't worry it will automatically reconnect when its moved as long as its within range of your main Q box.

Then carry out a Network Reset on the mini.

Network Reset found in mini Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Follow instructions to WPS with Q device,
You will be asked to press the WPS button on the Q booster box (not the mini as the Network reset will start the mini WPS automatically).
