Re: My sky Q signal constantly drops out even when all lights are green on the actual box
@Liz107 assume you are talking about the WiFi signal as Sky Q is a satellite TV system. WiFi signal level is affected bybthe layout and type of construction of your home.
The TV and Playstation bioth need bandwidth but also a signal free from interferencecas game playing and video streaming are badly affected by signal variation which causexdata packets tonbe lost. Ideally you should use ethernet cables for both rather than WiFi but that can be difficult. If tgesexare yiur only devices giving issues consider buying a Powerline Networking kit which uses the mains wiring to getvthe signal to the area near the units and linking the devices by ethernet cables to the adapter certainly if you want to watch UHD or play games this should beca far better solution
Alternatively you could gonthe whole hog and buy a whole home wifi solution these are not cheap and requirexsome care in setting up. A single booster might work but personally I wouldn't bother for use with these devices.
65inch Sky Glass, 3 Sky Streaming Pucks, Sky Ultrafast + and Sky SR213(white Wifi Max hub) main Wifi from 3 TP-Link Deco M4 units in access point mode
