Using sky q with new broadband, and the router is connected to my Q box via an ethernet cable

[Hcochin]

Due to speed issues I recently change my broadband supplier. My sky Q box is linked to my router via an ethernet cable. When I tried to use my sky Q box as an access point it seems to have generated a new sky SSID. However there seems to be no way of connecting to that SSID. Looking at my other sky mini Q boxes around my home they also seem to have this same SSID. Is there anyway I can find out what the credentials are to log into this new SSID?. I am also seeing my new SSID on the sky boxes and I'm not sure if the sky mini boxes are acting as repeaters. Any expertise in this area would be helpful thank you

Without the Sky Q router, the wireless mesh will not operate, and you need to be with Sky broadband for that wireless mesh facility as its proprietary, unfortunately.

But will each q act an access point? Even if not as a mesh?

The wireless mesh only operates with a Sky router, the Sky Q boxes cannot act as access points for clients to connect to as individual independent devices.

The solution would be to acquire a new wireless mesh either from your current broadband supplier or purchase a third party wireless mesh from the marketplace compatible with your internet provider.

Hi @Hcochin 

If you are no longer with Sky broadband you need to enable the hotspot option in the Sky Q boxes settings
