No internet connection
Continually getting a no internet connection on Sky q box. Everything else works, TV, Alexa, phones, iPads, computers etc. Usually I reboot the router and it comes back. But over the last week or so that's not working consistently. So I've had to resort to rebooting the sky box. That clears the problem as well, at least for a day or so but that clearly is not normal. Anyone have an tips or is it time after 40+ years to tell sky to do one. Have to stress I have other issues with service levels that considering the cost I feel sky should do more to fix. I'm not prepared to buy a new box.

Hi @Balaclava
Try completly resetting your connection.
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 3rd party (non Sky ) broadband then you need to enter the SSID and password for the router 2.4 Ghz WiFi band.

Re: No internet connection
Thanks but been there done that. This is a long standing issue which has increased in frequency. It shouldn't be this inconvenient or inconsistent
