Sky Q with Google Nest

[0wa1n]

I had a Sky Q box and mini box installed a couple of days ago. We have EE broadband and 3 Nest wifi pods, one wired in to the main box and the other two around the house. Broadband strong 300mbps and no previous issues but now the Sky Q box keeps dropping internet connection and the mini box won’t connect to the Sky Q main box. I gather that this may have to do with the Sky Q box also sending out a mesh wifi that conflicts with the Google Nest mesh. Any thoughts or suggestions to fix will be much appreciated.

It won't use the nest mesh apart from (if you're lucky) the Q to internet connection.

Can you move that wifi away from the channel the Q uses (36)?

Unfortunately Google Nest channels can't be changed.

A quick google suggests they use the same channel range as Q.

The best solution, if possible, would be to disable Q WiFi and connect all Q units via ethernet to a nest.

This solution might not work for everyone but I have moved the Google Nest node to other side of room out of direct sight of the main Q box & it seems to have sorted it all out. Main Q connected & mini also working fine.
