That's a big assumption
What have you already tried?

Re: Not connecting to internet
I'm having this issue. Switched to sky fibre a month ago from their super fast and was fine until today. Internet not connecting to sky q boxes. Tried following directions including holding WOS on sky max router when prompted but it does nothing. Any help much appreciated.

I believe you don't use the Sky router / WPS process with the Max router. You connect using the password as if it's a non-sky router.

Re: Not connecting to internet
I am having a similar issue. Woke up this morning to find the mini box wasn't connected and with a message telling me to go to the Sky Q box and follow instructions.
- Pressed the WPS button on the router but it did not reconnect
- Reset the router then tried the WPS bit again. Nothing.
- Switched off mini boxes, Sky Q box and router. Restarted router. Once it was fully up and running - internet working fine - restarted the Sky Q box. Still not connecting to the Internet.
The Sky Q box and router are about a foot (30cm) apart. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

30cm? Use a cable.

Re: Not connecting to internet
I've just finally resolved my Sky Q box not connecting to WiFi or via Ethernet.
My setup is as follows:
BT Internet ISP
Draytek 2830 router (this is the DHCP server as well)
TP-Link Deco X55 AX3000 Mesh WiFi network in access point mode.
My Sky Q box would not connect to WiFi or via Ethernet. It would obtain an IP address and momentarily say it was connected to the internet but then would show an x. I tried a factory reset on the Sky Q box and still nothing.
Finally, after checking a load of settings on my DrayTek router I noticed RADVD was enabled but DHCPV6 was disabled. This was triping the Sky Q box up.
After fully disabling IPV6 everything is working correctly.
Hope this helps someone!

Re: Not connecting to internet
Interesting. I use IPv6 on my network without breaking the Q but it's entirely possible that ipv6 radvd traffic doesn't make it through my ancient wifi mesh to cause any confusion.
