Hi @Lezz1 

First reset your broadband router.
On Sky broadband hold the Reset on the back of the router until the power light flashes green (about 10 seconds). Don't unplug or switch off your router while it resets. The power light will go green when it's done.

Wait until the router is completely back and running and then try a Network Reset found in Q box Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Follow instructions to connect by WiFi to your router. Even if reset is not listed there is still an option to connect by WiFi to Sky or 3rd party router
On Sky Broadband you will be asked to press the WPS button on the Sky router. (Not on the Q box as the Network reset will start the main Q box WPS automatically). Make sure you press the WPS button on the Sky router and not the reset button.

Hi Oldfella, thanks a lot , had tried the mentioned steps with a Sky customer service agent and have done it few mins back too again, no luck, still cannot connect to Broadband wifi, both devices are about a metre apart, dont see why would i need a Sky booster as prompted when could not reconnect, seems to be a Sky Q box issue, have booked an appointment and hopefully should get sorted

Hi @Lezz1 

If your Sky Q box and Q router are only one metre apart why don't you use Ethernet???
