Sky q replacement

Willmc — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 20:51:45 GMT

Hi, I have a sky q box in my summer house which I have to return to sky . I need something similar to replace it to continue WiFi as normal, any suggestions? I currently have a cat5 cable going into Sky q box, I have no option for a booster as signal is too weak. I have spent over 2 hrs on the phone with sky and over 10 different people for a simple request however I got nowhere. Your ideas or suggestions would be great TIA

Hi @Willmc

If the cat 5 cable goes from your Q box to your summer house then you could use a 3rd party booster connected to the cable.

Thanks for replying. That will be my last resort but understood that sky would supply a simple replacement to keep it inline with the router. Cat 5 comes from router to summer house. I've cancelled tv package so just for internet for pc/ps5 and smart tv. Any suggestions on a type or make of third party router?

Just get a wifi booster with an ethernet backhaul?
