hi @StevieB5 

 

I am assuming your wifi is not SKY

 

Both the  Network & password are your home wifi

If a Q box is acting correctly as a hotspot, it broadcasts WiFi using the same credentials as the router.

Thanks for that. It shows up as an available network on my tablet but connection fails before I can enter my password.  I have tried this with the box in sleep mode and on.
