SkyQ mini box and BT disc

Is it possible to connect a mini box via a BT disc using the Ethernet ports. 
I have the main SkyQ box working this way. It's just that the mini box in bedroom is unreliable.

Should do

 

I have my Q connected the same way but went with powerlines for the minis because discs were not in convenient locations for the minis. Wifi disabled on all of them.

Have you disabled WiFi on the Q boxes?

Re: SkyQ mini box and BT disc

I have not disabled Wi-Fi as yet. Just considering the purchase of another BT Disc. Just asking will it work via the disc?

Yes, should work - it's how mine are configured.  (They don't like connecting via WiFi to a disc but fine via Ethernet but the back haul is WiFi)
