Both boxes keep losing internet connection

Hi, both my main and also mini boxes regularly lose their WiFi signal.

 

This is despite the "smart tv" functions on the tellys working fine so I know its nothing to do with the Internet connection 

 

It's infuriating

 

 I have bt broadband with a mesh setup with 4 whole home wifi discs

 

Everything else works other than these boxes- anyone any idea what the problem is?

I've not heard anything?

An engineer came out today and told me its because the boxes don't work with a bt whole home wifi mesh, so installed a sky booster to my bt router. This though has not solved the problem ?

 I had the same problem and 2-3 years ago ended up plugging my Q into the back of a disc and my minis into powerline adapters (one also connected to the Q/disc) to basically convert the whole thing to ethernet and disable wifi on it.

 

The Q should  use the BTWH mesh to talk to the internet but it does it really badly, it can't use it to talk to the mini which is what the engineer was referring to.

 

My network ended up like this (I've got another 3 discs not shown here)

Re: Both boxes keep losing internet connection

I jave exactly the same set-up as ypu - with the same problem.  I wil now move a BT Whole Home disk near to the Sky Q box and hard wire it.  Hopefully this will be stable unlike the current connection method, which doesn't give any pther devices a problem.
