Qbox

Qbox cuts off connection with message problem finding Qbox on network. Switching Qbox off then connecting again gives connection for approx 5 minutes then cuts off again. Repeating switch off again gets same result each time. No problem on main box or on WiFi connection. ?

This is wifi connection on mini box?

 

What sort of wifi do you have?  Any mesh for example?

I am just another Sky customer and my views are my own

Hi @12a 

Try completly resetting the mini connection.

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 main Q box.
You will be asked to press the WPS button on the main Q box (not the mini as the Network reset will start the mini WPS automatically).

If you are on Sky Broadband and the Router is nearer to the mini than the main box then you can try pressing WPS on the router instead of the main Q box. If you do this make sure you press the Sky router WPS button and not the router reset button.

Failing all of the above you may need a Sky Q WiFi Booster to position midway between your main Q box and the mini and you will need to contact Sky directly.

Re: Qbox

Thanks 4 that. I'd tried that several times but no good, back to square one, then tried again this morning and it came back to say can't find IP Address & was WiFi on. - it was. I clicked yes & lo! It switched straight to a picture & has been ok all day! Thanks again for replying.
