Sky q will not connect to broadband

I have tried numerous times to connect Sky Q to broadband but it has failed everytime.  I have completed and followed all the on-line help but nothing.  None of the mini boxes are connected either.  Rebooted the router several times. One of the booster boxes is showing and not connected but I can't get it to connect.    Spent several hours on this.  Can't watch netflix.  Pressed the WSP on the router several times but still nothing.  Phoned SKY but just keeping getting a text message to go to the on-line help. Please help.  Thank you

Re: Sky q will not connect to broadband

Thank you Chodley.

 

Luckily I was able to speak to a person at Sky yesterday early evening.  Dimitrios talked me through what I needed to do and it was exactly the same as what you kindly advised.  Dimitrios was extremely helpful.

 

The booster is about 6 metres away from the router but there are a couple of walls inbetween.  I did not realise all our sky equipment goes through the booster.  I also picked up a couple of good tips re changing the standby mode to none (albeit it uses more power doing this).

Thank you so much for your help and quick response.
