Sky Q mini boxes constantly losing connection to main Q box

hi, i have Sky Q with 2 Q mini boxes, just recently we have noticed the mini Q boxes will go offline but within a minute come back on. this is happening between 5 - 10 times a day. All boxes are wired and not on wifi. i have done the normal power off and powered everything off and then back on. this is becoming really annoying and i just cant seem to solve this. My house as a full fible connection and i dont have any other issues.

 

anyone have any ideas.

 

thank you

lee

are all your boxes connected by eternet?  or wireless? if they are wired have you disabled the wifi on the boxes?

The main q box is wired by Ethernet and the q mini box is wired by Ethernet to a local wireless booster

Re: Sky Q mini boxes constantly losing connection to main Q box

You never said if wireless has been disabled? I've never used a booster so can't comment on them, I use network switches as my home is fully wired throughout. I did find though that once I went with a fully wired connection ~ main sky Q box and 2 mini boxes I had to disable wireless on all 3 boxes
