Best Set up with Virgin Media Broadband

Hello all,

 

I am having Virgin media installed next week due to Sky speeds in my area only reaching 10-15mb. I'm trying to work out the best set up (Sky Q plus 2 Mini's) for me having read tons of forum posts and my take is the following will work best.

 

VM Router to connect to main Sky Q via 2.4ghz band. (No Ethernet option) 

Sky Minis to connect to Sky Q box via Sky q 5ghz. Set channels on Sky Q box to use channels 44 to 52 

set VM Router to use channels 36 to 43 (to minimise interference.)

one mini needs a sky booster - connect Sky booster to main Q box. Sky mini will automatically use this.

Turn off Sky Mini Hotspots to avoid multiple connection points (not sure if I need to do this but last time one device had 4 options for same network)

 

i hope someone can advise this being the best as last time I had VM I had issues with the Sky Mini boxes disconnecting everyday and having to reset the main q box connection to get them to work.

Re: Best Set up with Virgin Media Broadband

Hi, could you advise on your final setup and did you have any issues? I am having VM broadband installed in 2 weeks time and currently have Sky Q with 1 main box and 2 mini boxes connected via Sky broadband which has been cancelled. Thanks
