My Sky Q box can often lose connectivity on a daily basis. It is easily resolved by the reset method, but my concern is the regularity of this fault. It has made me wonder if there is something wrong with my Sky Q setup in the house. This is the current setup:
Downstairs
The main TV connects to the Sky Q box by HDMI
The Sky Q box connects in the normal way to a roof dish
There is an ethernet connection from the Sky Q box to a TP powerlink plug to send signal upstairs
Upstairs Office
A second TV connects to the Sky Q Mini by HDMI
The Sky Q mini-box connects to a BT Router by ethernet cable
There is an ethernet connection from the TV to a TP powerlink plug to receive the signal from downstairs
On the stairs there is a Sky booster
I also have BT Minidiscs (Black) which are positioned to boost the wifi signal across the house for internet use.
Notes
BT Router has to be upstairs to connect to my computer to give me the strongest signal
On reflection I am fairly sure that I do not need to TP powerlink plugs as any boosting is done by the Sky Booster
I would really welcome any technical advice on this setup.
Many thanks

Re: Sky Q minibox regularly loses connectivity
After some excellent support from a Sky expert (Norelle) the resolution appeared to be my use of a TP link which seems to have clashed with the Sky booster in some way. Having removed the TP link, connectivity has been stable. It was also suggested I monitor the issue and come back if the same issue returns again
