Hi @Belinda17 

Try 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.

Hi @Belinda17 

Maybe worth swapping over the mini with one that is working just to see it will connect at a different location.   Choose the mini nearest to the main Q box if possible

@oldfella I will give that ago tomorrow and see if it works or not.

Am trying to figure out how you add a photo so you can see.

Hi @Belinda17 

You click the camera icon above the post box to add a photo.

Edit

If you wasn't aware MR 106 is a connection error

Re: Sky Q Mini Box Error MR106

I've been having this issue for the past couple of days. I've just spoken to Sky and they advise to change the setting on the main box and mini box to active from eco.  Apparently, in eco mode the box goes to sleep from 4am until 6am. However, if the box doesn't wake up properly the MR106 Error may occur. 

Will have to wait and see if this solves the issue.
