Hardwiring sky q booster box and turning its wifi off

Really appreciate any help with this.  We have two sky q boxes.  Main one and one that is used as a booster. I would like to turn off the wifi on the booster (but let it still get a signal from the main router so it can access the Internet), and hardwire it to the tv. I'm trying to avoid wifi in that room- long story. I don't have a sky remote contol. Any idea how to do this? Thanks!

Is that a wireless booster or a Q Mini box

I would like to turn off the wifi on the booster (but let it still get a signal from the main router so it can access the Internet)

Turning off WiFi then necessitates an Ethernet cable

and hardwire it to the tv.

'hardwire' the network connection?

Without a Q remote you can't switch off Q WiFi.  How do you watch any content?
