Sky Q helicopter

Sky Q box fan keeps kicking in and box then sticks on standby? Rebooting resolves, but this a week in from having an engineer configure replacement box and mini boxes. As he advised Sky Q issue with none Sky Broadband. Would you expect a new replacement box to revert to acting like original al within such a short time?

Yep - there is something wrong with the EE router power supply that causes this. They know about it. You could try calling them and you might get lucky and speak to someone who knows about it.

 

Another thing that has worked for some people is putting a cheap 100Mb switch in between the Sky box and the router.

 

You could also, at a bit more cost, replace the router with a netgear, asus or tplink or something, configure it the same so it's a direct swap in the for the EE one.

 

A couple of people have said getting a replacement Sky box has worked (others less lucky, maybe specific to a certain type of box as there are a few models) and one person said factory resetting their router fixed it.

Do you have EE broadband by any chance?

Tried EE, wasn't lucky 😞

Going to try, as the cheapest option, 

Another thing that has worked for some people is putting a cheap 100Mb switch in between the Sky box and the router.
