@Chrisee  When connected to the sky mesh I cannot use hue lights or Sonos. They only work when connected to the router directly. But as they share the same SSID there is no way of changing the connection. It's a pain...the only way I can connect is to go into the room with the sky router.

I have Hue lights. I had the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz seperated via the router and had no problem. I wanted to make sure the devices I wanted on the 5Ghz were on the 5Ghz. Worked no problem.

@Laing1. Blimey, that was  quick response! Many thanks for your reply and I will give it bash. I was a little confused as I had watched a YouTube video of someone doing this very thing, but when they went into the hidden menu on their mini box they had power line and Ethernet options as well as the 2.4 & 5Ghz Wi-Fi options, but I only have the 2 Wi-Fi options and wondered if turning both off would screw up the whole system.

@jry when Sky Q was first released the idea was it could be connected by wifi ethernet and in built powerline. Sky never officially activated the powerline option even though it worked and in a later software update removed the option altogether
