Sky Q mini box connection

When I'm watching my mini box upstairs it will go off and say I can't watch tv as the mini box is having trouble connecting to my sky Q box downstairs, I've tried resetting the both of them, it solves the problem for a few minutes but then it happens again, I've also tried resetting it using the wow button but the same happens again?

@Lpoollass21 sounds like your mini box is right on the limit of receiving the signal from the main box and you may need a booster

You will need to contact Sky to get a booster 

You can contact Sky by phone by dialling 150 if Sky is your phone provider or by following the link below
