Ideas about connecting minibox from distance

[Cedar75]

My son has moved into an annex to our house and wants to run a minibox from the main Sky Q box in the main building. It is about 30/40 meters away. Sky advised us to connect through our WiFi. It did connect briefly but then dropped out. Any ideas about making the connection more stable. Our WiFi is good and solid in the annex.

Many  thanks

Always best to use Ethernet wherever possible @Cedar75

@Cedar75Unless Sky is your broadband supplier it does not use your home WiFi to link boxes.

It generates its own WiFi link on 5Ghz which is probably not a strong enough to reach the mini box.

If the annex is on the same mains circuit as the main Q box you could use a powerline LAN extender and then connect both the main and mini box by Ethernet to the two powerline units.
