Sky Q mini box issue

My ski mini boxes keep losing connection to the internet and sky Q main box. Rebooted both the main box and router plus all three mini boxes but it makes no difference. I reconnect to the internet and all is ok for a minute or two and then it drops out again, anyone else having this problem today?

Hi @Jo+Wilson 

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 have the new Sky Max router then you need to connect the WPS to the main Q box.
If you get the first mini connected then for other minis use WPS on the nearest Q device (main Q box or Sky Router (not Sky Max) if on Sky Broadband or previously connected mini).

Re: Sky Q mini box issue

Thank you but we have already tried everything, spoke with SKY and went through all the options, rebooted everything even did a reset on the minibox but it is still a problem. When you turn the minibox on it starts off fine and then loses internet connection after about 1 min. You can reconnect using the WPS but that only lasts for a couple of minutes. Strangely the online help is also down!!
