No longer fit for purpose

[Ronj]

Constant dropping off of broadband even though all other wifi connected items throughout the house work perfectly with no issues.

Been going on for months once or twice a week having to reset Q and mini's, you can try all the hints and fixes on this forum but clearly plenty of people still getting nowhere.

Unfortunately a long haul till contract end, unless we can prove it's the product.

What have Sky suggested?

[Ronj]

@Mark39 following the many threads on this issue not a lot but an engineers visit or a replacement box none of which seems to fully eradicate the problem.

I won't be calling them until I've caught up on my recordings just incase they change the box, but I'll not be letting a sky employee tamper with my modem and perfectly good working wifi in any case.

It's clearly  a SKYQ box issue one way or the other as absolutely nothing else has issues, so no doubt I need to call them in.

Unfortunately all the various "superusers" fixes fail to hold up.

Yes, you'll need to call. It could still be a wifi issue or possibly a faulty Q box.

Well, clearly not all the hints and fixes, because the hints and fixes I always mention are;

use powerlines

or use ethernet

or use wifi nesh nodes hard wired to the sky boxes

that saved my sanity.
