Sky Mini Box in Outbuilding

Hi

 

we have recently converted a garage(not connected to house) and we have arranged our sky WiFi to be connected to the building which now works well. 

I've hit a problem with using the sky mini box.  Because the sky q box is in the house very far away, the mini isn't connecting. 

is there something I can do to get the mini box to work?

 

thanks

How was that achieved?  It may be possible to use the same link for the Mini box.

Thanks for the reply. 

it's a cable run from my sky wifi router to one in my outbuilding. It was a company that I got in so I'm not sure the name of the booster. It's attached to my ceiling if that helps

@Ladeside123 thst wifi access point will be connected to the hub by an ethernet cable the same cable can be used to network the Q mini by adding a simple unmanaged ethernet switch. You then connect the incoming feed from the house to the switch and run an ethernet lead to the ceiling access point and a second one to the Q box. You may have to ask the company to come back and do that but note buying the leads and the switch should cost under £30.
