skyq booster

[leitchyleck]

hi, trying to get signal down in mancave, its around 15m from house

currently have 4 miniboxes all working fine.  when i take nearest down to shed its hit or miss sometimes taking washing in helps!

i have a small white booster but think its from skyhd days, it pairs with rooter and shows connected but no improvement. do i need an up to date booster for skyq?

There is a specific Sky Q booster (although not exactly 'up to date' as it's from 2016)

Sky typically won't supply one to get signal to an external building though.

@leitchyleck Best to take a look at the link and say what you have from there.

Ideally you want ethernet running from your house to the exterior building, then you can have a reliable connection there from the mini box.

working for last hour. i restarted router/skybox & minibox, took in washing!

the booster is outside window but dk if its benifitting or not, will switch off when finished for night see if any changes.
