Sky Q box keeps losing connection. Engineer came out changed a few settings and gave up Ethernet cable to connect to router. Still losing connection regularly. How do I get to speak to someone at sky to book an engineer?

Regarding your issue
When Q boxes are connected by Ethernet you can then switch off all Q box WiFi. (Provided you have no mini boxes on WiFi)
On the main Q box and first carry out a Network reset with the Ethernet connected.
Network Reset found in Q box Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Select connect wired to non Sky Router (or Sky router if on Sky Broadband). Do not carry out any WPS and just wait for the box to connect. It may take a couple of minutes. If it does not connect there is an issue with the Ethernet connection.
As soon as it connects go immediately into the Q box hidden menu and turn off WiFi.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Go to Network to turn off both bands of WiFi. Confirm before exit.
If you have minis on WiFi then carry out the reset as above but leave the WiFi on..
