Sky Mini Q in my remote garden room

My setup:

- Sky broadband (Fiber to house - Great speed!)

- Main Sky Q box with Ethernet connection

- Sky Q mini lounge and upstairs (No booster required)

- I also have a Deco X60 on a separate SSID for wifi around the house

 

All the above works great.

 

Whats New:

- Garden room about 100ft from the main Sky Q box 

- Cat6 Ethernet running from Hub to Garden room

- Ethernet connection into Labtop with great speed

 

The Issue:

- I can not get the Sky mini box in the garden room to connect to the Sky Q box

- If the garden room Mini is connected to the ethernet cable, which is the same network as main Q box it still can not connect.

- Worse, once the mini is connected to Ethernet, it seems to "knock out" the other sky boxes.

- Knock out meaning, they lose connect to the network, requiring a reset. They sometime reconnect but needs multiple attempts and then fails again the following day. (Nightmare)

 

I know that the Sky Q mian box creates its own wifi , but I can not boost that 100ft.

 

Is there any guidance on how to get this configuration to work, or an I stuck with Boosters up he guarden.

 

I got this working before I upgraded the Sky Broadband hub to the latest MAX, so have Sky brought in something here to block this?
