Hi
I have just switched internet provider away from Sky to Brsk. I have connected the main sky Q box to the network and have the following questions
1) Is it correct that the network name on the main Q box is a sky generated name as it is the sky generated mesh and shouldn't show my network name?
2) The 2 mini boxes can only connect to the sky mesh and not the main wifi
3) If I need to boost the sky mesh wifi strength then I will need a separate sky booster? or
4) If I turn on the wifi boost setting from the main box will that boost the Sky mesh network rather than the main wifi network?
Cheers
John

Yes, re point 4 I meant the ability to turn on wi-fi hotspots found under network settings / advanced settings. This is currently switched off
Cheers
Hi @John+Da
Hotspots on minis will not help Q device connectivity.
They may help connect other devices.

Yes, it's the Q box Mesh ID

Sky Q WiFi booster
4) If I turn on the wifi boost setting from the main box will that boost the Sky mesh network rather than the main wifi network?There is no boost setting. The WiFi is either On or Off. it needs to be on if you have minis on WiFi
