Hi @Craig17 

First step you need to get your main Q box connected to the internet.

Try first rebooting your broadband router dy disconnecting the power lead for 30 secs and then reconnecting.

Wait until the router is completely back up and running and then reboot your main Q box.

To reboot press Standby on your Sky Q remote (if the box responds to the remote), and then switch off and unplug at the mains.
Wait at least 30 secs and then Plug back in and switch your Sky Q box back on at the mains.
Wait for the on screen instructions to disappear and the front led to turn Amber. Then wait for 30 secs before you press Home on your Sky Q remote or if this is not working press the standby button on the front of the Q box (Amber led)

note: some features may take up to 5 minutes to return.

 

If the main box is still not connected to the Internet Try a Network Reset found in main Q box Home - Settings - Setup - Network.
Highlight Status and then select Reset on the right hand side. Follow instructions to connect by WiFi to your router.
If you are on Sky broadband you will be asked to press the WPS button on the Sky router. (Not on the Q box as the Network reset will start the main Q box WPS automatically). Make sure you press the WPS button on the Sky router and not the reset button.
if you are on 3rd party (non Sky ) broadband then you need to enter the SSID and password for the router 2.4 Ghz WiFi band.

Hi @Craig17 

Did you try the Network Reset or just the reboot?

Assume you used the SSID and password for the router 2.4 Ghz band @Craig17 

 

Also have you tried turning off Smart setup in the BT router
