We are trying to connect our main sky box to the Internet. No problem connecting the TV but the connection keeps dropping from box. We've tried boosters routers etc.

Hi @TRIONA 

Sky Q will not connect by WiFi to 3rd party boosters.

First reset your broadband router.
If 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.
If on 3rd party broadband and your router does not have a reset button, reboot it by disconnecting the power lead for 30 secs and then reconnecting.
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.
If you are 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.
If you are on Sky Broadband with the new Sky Max router then you need to connect it as if it is a 3rd party router.
If you are on 3rd party (non Sky ) broadband then you need to enter the SSID and password for the router 2.4 Ghz WiFi band.

It connects without any problem. After a minute of connection the connection drops

Exactly how and to what are you connecting the Q box  @TRIONA 

[Chodley]

It will connect to 3rd party boosters / meshes over 2.4GHz.

But a mini won't use them to connect to the Q.

And also it will be horribly flakey as you've discovered. Try hardwiring the Q into a booster if it has an ethernet port, and piggybacking its wifi connection to the router.

If that's no good, also worth trying disabling 5GHz on the wifi network. It seems to confuse the simpleton Q box.
