Weird network problem
Not actually a question, but information.
I had my Sky Glass connected via an ethernet connection, via a mesh network.
Because of a fault with the mesh, I disconnected the ethernet and changed to WiFi. Because I plan to get the mesh working again (which will involve setting it up from scratch again, I fear), I left the ethernet cable plugged into the back of the Glass.
Today, I fired up the TV and it totally refused to connect to WiFi.
In the end, I pulled the cable from the back of the Glass, and it now connects!
It seems that the Glass thinks there is an ethernet connection even if there's nothing on the other end of the cable.
Which worked fine, for a while.

Re: Weird network problem
If you have a mesh wifi I wouldn't bother with ethernet cable. The Ethernet connection in glass is limited to 100mbs
