Sky Q and fibre

[IanB25]

Hi,

I have Sky Q TV and am getting full fibre, but just realised that this means that the Q in my garden room may no longer work, as it's too far from the Sky Q main box. Currently I have a lan cable running from the router to the garden room, where it plugs into a booster. This connects to the mini box and gives me TV and broadband. Presumably this set up won't work if I have fibre?

Hi @IanB25  No, it will still work with full fibre if everything else stay where it is - ie modem/router doesn't move the new router connects to the full fibre termination box (now the modem) via a lan cable so hopefully you'll be able to place the new router where the old one currently sits

Not sure I understand your problem?

if you currently have Sky broadband and a Sky Router, then after Fibre (sky/openreach?) is supplied to your property, all you need to do is reconnect the router to the fibre terminations ethernet socket and everything is as before?

I think if you don't have sky broadband,  then when reconnecting the sky router, the miniboxes will no longer provide wireless hotspots (access points) without re-enabling them for none-sky fibre(in settings/network/advanced/hotspots) , or you can still use an unmanaged switch to connect mini's and tv etc using ethernet cables.
