https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Sky-Q-mini-on-ethernet-via-switch/m-p/5008153#M703198 <P>I'm looking to put a sky Q mini box in a summerhouse/office at the end of my garden but the wifi signal is very poor that far from the house. I understand that (as I have a 'third party' router) I can hard wire an ethernet cable from the main box to my router and then another from the router to the mini box). However, I also want to fit an access point in my summerhouse for wifi but don't want to run two ethernet cables from the house.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>If I connect my main sky Q box to my router via an ethernet cable and then I run a single ethernet cable to my summerhouse and connect it to an ethernet switch that then has the mini Q box and an access point attached will this give me both a working sky mini Q box plus wifi from the access point for other devices in my summerhouse?</P> Mon, 09 Jun 2025 10:21:27 GMT BGD2 2025-06-09T10:21:27Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Sky-Q-mini-on-ethernet-via-switch/m-p/5008153#M703198 <P>I'm looking to put a sky Q mini box in a summerhouse/office at the end of my garden but the wifi signal is very poor that far from the house.

Should be fine, I had a switch out the back of Q hard wiring to the minis. Make sure you go into the advanced settings and turn off wifi on mini though.&nbsp;</P> Mon, 09 Jun 2025 11:08:44 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Q/Sky-Q-mini-on-ethernet-via-switch/m-p/5008189#M703200 Dallybally 2025-06-09T11:08:44Z
