Changing Over Router on Mini Box

[Chodley]

How are you trying to connect the minis to the boosters?

Hi, I was going into settings and network setup but it isn't even showing my new WiFi and just keeps automatically connecting to the old sky one.

Hi there just wondering if you got this sorted? I cannot run Ethernet cables all over apart from the sky Q box. The sky box and minis just seem to create a loop and their own wifi connection everytime

They do create their own mesh.

If the minis and Q are too far apart to do that (which means more than about 10ft with a plasterboard wall in my experience) then powerline adapters are worth a try, that's what I ended up using.

Okay so you have a powerline mesh network let's say deco? And then at each mini box you have one and ethernet connect from the powerline deco? Thanks for the reply!!

Decos also have wifi don't they (and therefore a lot more expensive)? I just use ethernet-only Netgear ones.

I have a separate wifi mesh.

I have no way of a hard wire to my mini box. i have just instailed a new wifi booster. its nott a sky one can i limk my mini to it to get a better signal

No.

Try powerlines. The Q will need to be on that too. (or ethernet)
