Sky Q 2TB internet connection issue

We have a 2 TB SKYQ box that says it's cannot connect to the internet. It's had this issue for about a week. I have tried wireless and wired. The internet is fine so can only guess it's a problem with the box. 
can anyone help please?

Thanks

Simon

I'm having the exact same issue. A right pain! Keep resetting network settings on the box, by the next day it's gone again.

presumably some software issue. Had another broadband supplier for a while and no issues. Every other device has no issues connecting to WiFi.

It's not a software issue (well, not a new one)

 

if you try wired are you completely setting up the Q's network again through the network reset? You can't just plug in an ethernet cable.

The box has always been connected via an ethernet cable and I have checked and that is working fine!

Have you done a network reset to remind the box and also, is wifi disabled?

Weird. I know it looks for particular services to connect to before declaring a working connection. Does the router think that port has a live connection?

 

maybe try changing the DNS to one of the public ones like 8.8.8.8
