@Patrick29 if Sky Q boxes wont connect Sky should either send out a booster or arrange for one ofvtheir engineerscto come out.

 

4m isnt very far but it depends what other than air is in between. Any metal will block the signal otherwise depending on the density walls, furniture, peoplle and the like will cause attenuation. Placing the hub high up above radiators etc helps.

It's an open space, I think an engineer needs to visit

Sky might choose a home visit: typically they send out a wireless booster first.

 

Note that ISPs aren't actually responsible for home WiFi: any supposed 'guarantee' is really a guaranteed refund if targets aren't met.
