We're also having the same issue. Our Sky Q is connected via Ethernet to the router, and the internet is constantly up and down. It's completely unpredictable.  We have had it happen in the past, but usually, a reset would sort it, and now even that doesn't work. We don't have any internet issues from any other device in the house, it's down right now and I'm having no issue in posting this!

Do you have wifi disabled?

[Rendist]

Just double-checked, both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands are switched off. 

It says it's connected to the router but no internet is available.

Maybe try a manual DNS entry of 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

Really helpful that thank you @Chodley perhaps don't reply if you're not going to offer any suggestions??

As my Sky Q box is also affected and keeps disconnecting from the Internet it sounds pretty similar to some of the other issues in this thread.

@ND131 I should have added to my post to you. To contact Sky explain you have Sky Q but you have not received the Sky Q hub and you have the old hub Sky Hub and didn't recieve the newer Q hub which you should of received. They should send you out a Sky Q hub or maybe the newer Sky Broadband hub

@Laing1 I will do that, thank you

I've done all of that over again three times, we still come back to the fact that it says it does not recognise that we are connected to the internet. This is a new SkyQ box fitted last week. Previous to that, the week before,  Sky sent a Sky box and asked us to fit it ourselves. That worked temporarily then broke down. It took the two engineers last week who came, over an hour to get it to work, and to connect it to the minibox to get that to work. Two days ago it started the same message again on the main Sky Q box and the minibox has stopped working altogether. Phoned Sky, engineer not available until Saturday morning (minibox stopped workon Monday night).  As a Diamond user and a pensioner who doesnt want to spend every evening trying to understand technical issues, I'm pretty fed up with Sky now.   Where are these boxes manufactured and why are we paying rent for them when they keep letting us down? I am making a formal complaint to Sky.

Hi.

This probably won't help most people but I'll post it just in case it helps even one person.

I've been experiencing this same issue since the weekend. Both Sky Q and Sky Mini complaining yet everything else is working fine. 

I checked out both boxes and reset the networking.  Nada. Nothing. So I worked back through what i had done at the weekend - I'd setup an extra (third party) access point in my home office so that my phone gets steady 5g when in there.

I went through the entire setup of the device, and it turns out I'd left DHCP active on the Access Point. Everything else was still working fine. I'm pretty sure I'd turned off DHCP on the AP - lesson learned. Double check everything.

I can't decide if the other devices were working OK because they have long DHCP leases or they stuck to using x.x.0.1 for DHCP as configured. The Sky boxes were, apparently, getting an IP address as they were reporting successful connection to the broadband router but just no Internet connectivity.

It does feel like there could have been better error messages reported.

Assume you mean 5GHz rather than 5G on the phone? Interesting one. Didn't know APs had DHCP services!

[Oz_Arnold]

Sorry, yes - that's what I meant. It's an all in one device that can be used as a router, wireless extender or access point so that's where the DHCP comes in.

I'd been using 8.8.8.8 for about 2 years and after a power outage this no lomger worked - switched to 1.1.1.1 and it totally solved my problem - thanks!
