My minibox is not connecting to my Sky Q box, despite having a Sky booster. I have spoken to the Sky tech team in India but they just go through the same routine without success. Is there any way I can speak to the tech boys in the UK?

Hi @TonyBontoft
If you main Q box is successfully connected to your Sky router then you can use the Q booster located between your main Q box and the mini.
Assuming the main Q box is connected correctly you need to set up the Q booster as follows.
Position the booster approx midway between the main Q box and the mini.
Tip: Need to move your booster after you've connected, don't worry it will automatically reconnect when its moved as long as its within range of your main Q box.
Then carry out a Network Reset on the mini.
Network Reset found in mini Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Follow instructions to WPS with Q device,
You will be asked to press the WPS button on the Q booster box (not the mini as the Network reset will start the mini WPS automatically).

Hi @oldfella , eureka!! I have a working minibox! I think that my main problem was that the main Sky Q box was not connecting to my broadband network, so I rebooted the router and went through the setup procedure you suggested and, after what seemed an age with me crossing my fingers, I got a connection. Hopefully, the link will be maintained but, if not, I can go through the process again. Many thanks for your invaluable help, it was much better than that given by Sky!
