So I know that Main box / Hub / Mini Boxes can connect in a mesh type system when it comes to Wi-Fi, but to my knowledge only the Main Q Box can transmit satellite signal wirelessly to mini boxes. So my question is if the main box is transmitting the satellite signal to the mini box and then I have a third mini box and connect it with WPS to the one that's successfully connecting to the main box am I going to get satellite signal as well, or is the entire system basically limited to the Main Box's ability to transmit satellite signal to all other mini boxes?

Hi @thetanaz All multiscreen Mini boxes connect to the main SKYQ box via wifi or ethernet connection, they cannot transmit a satellite signal from one to another.
I used to have superpowers… But a therapist took them away.

So in essence, if the mini box is too far away from main box it won't be able to transmit the live channels no matter if it has perfect Wi-Fi connection or not.

@thetanaz There is a limit to the distance from the main SKYQ box to the mini box, if the signal is poor because of distance you can aquire a SKY wifi booster to help with extending the wifi signal from the main SKYQ box to the Mini.
