Q Mini boxes only works with WiFi from Sky-branded booster hardware.

 

A potential workaround is to connect Minis to non-Sky nodes using ethernet cable.

Hi @Johnyb 

You can use a Sky Q WiFi booster to help connect mini boxes.  In this case the booster is connected to the main Q box by WPS and then the mini connects to the booster by WPS.  Booster located between main Q box and minis.

Also you could connect a Sky Q booster to your BT router by Ethernet.  In this case you should be able to connect your main Q box to the booster by WPS.
