Sky mini in garden room
Hi we have a garden room approx 10 feet from the main house. We have 2 sky q minis in the main house and a WiFi booster in the garden room. We have full signal in the garden room and want to connect a sky mini in the garden room - but the signal is very weak for the TV - I have tried connecting an Ethernet cable from the booster (sky pod) but doesn't make any difference am I missing something? I have turned off bandwidth on the Ethernet connection as advised by the sky help but still made no difference any suggestions would be appreciated- bare in mind I am no sky tv or internet expert TIA

Hi @Loumog
Can you confirm who your broadband supplier is and also exactly what the WiFi booster is and to what is it connected.

That's a Max pod, and unfortunately a Sky Q Mini box cannot use it as a WiFi source (essentially because there's a decade between the technologies and Max doesn't support the 'Q mesh')

Re: Sky mini in garden room
A Max Hub mandates a Max pod: it just cannot help with Q Mini box reception issues.
