Sky Q - forever rebooting main and miniboxes

[Ballkop]

I have a sky Q box and 4 miniboxes, but am constatntly having to reboot them to get them to work.  I had a couple of new main boxes last year but that still freezes on a regular basis.  I have replaced one of my miniboxes but still have connection issues requiring a reboot an a regular basis.

I have sky q and 4 miniboxes but have to reboot the main box at least twice a week and the miniboxes every few times I use them.

I went through the whole set up and reset my hard disk last week with SKY support through this forum, but the problems have continued and I've had to reboot the router now too

Hi @Ballkop 

Have you completed the following:-

First try rebooting the main Q box and then when this is completely back up and running reboot the minis.
To reboot press Standby on your Sky Q remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.
Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your Sky Q box back on at the mains.
Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your Sky Q remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the Q box (Amber led)

note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.

Reboot the minis as above.
If the mini still does not connect try a Network Reset on the minis. Start with the one nearest to the main Q box
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. If you get the first mini connected then for other minis use WPS on the nearest Q device (main Q box or Sky Router if on Sky Broadband or previously connected mini).  
If you are on Sky Broadband with the new Sky Max router then you need to consider this as 3rd party broadband

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.
