Gaming pc interferes with sky

Every time my son uses his gaming pc our main sky q box and the 5 minis we have, all freeze. Thought about switching to Puks but doesn't sound like it will resolve it. Pc is wired direct to router and router is newly swapped to a WiFi 7. Fibre broadband speeds are great and we have WiFi boosters also. How can this be resolved?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more

Can you put the PC on a separate vlam on the router?

 

This is the first tike I've heard of anything like this. Usually the Q spams the network and causes problems for other devices.

Are you saying it's a 3rd party router you're using? What make & model?

The pc line hose into the blue lan 2.5g on the back of the router. The wan 2.5g red goes to the wall unit, so this is separate isn't it?
