Who is your Broadband supplier?
If Sky, do you have the white Sky Max router?
Your best bet would be try Powerline units.
You need one connected to your router by Ethernet (although it doesn't need to be located at the router)
Then you need one connected by Ethernet on each Q box not already on Ethernet.
