Hi @Steve0107  

You need to carry out a Network reset on the mini.

If your Q booster is located between the main Q box and the mini to aid connection then you need to get the booster connected  first.

To do this:-

  1. With the power and wireless lights green.
  2. Hold the WPS button on your booster for 3 seconds until it flashes amber. Then hold the WPS button on the front of your hub for 3 seconds until it flashes amber - You'll need to do it within 2 minutes.  If you are on Sky Broadband and the Sky Q router is nearer to the mini than the main Q box then you can use the router for WPS instead of the main Q box.
  3. After a few minutes, the connected light will turn green.

Once the booster is connected carry it a Network on the mini.

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 or Q booster or Sky router (whichever is nearest to the mini)
You will be asked to press the WPS button on the nearest Q device (not the mini as the Network reset will start the mini WPS automatically).
