Connecting multiple Sky Q Mini Boxes

Starskyuk — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 17:55:05 GMT

Hello.

im trying to connect 4 (maximum amount to one sky Q box) sky Q Mini boxes to my main box. My WiFi is with Virgin but I can only connect two boxes. I have WiFi extenders and a 1GB plan with Virgin but still can not connect all 4 boxes. This has been going on for days. Sometimes no boxes will connect and another time, 2 will connect.

do I need an engineer out?

@Starskyuk

Only two Mini boxes can be in use simultaneously (despite Sky permitting the possession of four at a subscription address) : that's a hard limit built into the Q platform since launch a decade ago.

@Starskyuk Also your Virgin WiFi is irrelevant as the mini boxes connect directly to the main Sky Q box via its own internally generated WiFi network.
