Every morning I switch on one if my pucks which is hardwired with a cat 5 cable directly to a port on my new EE hub it gives me a blue screen saying no wi fi connection even tho wi fi is turned off -.
Any ideas - I tried toggling the startup options on/off .
Other pucks connected via switches and normally always powered off if not in use have no issue .
Cat five cable has been checked and new connectors put on to remove that possibly being the issue .

Your setting for Overnight power saving to Off is the preferred option.
When you make a change to any of these options, you need to do a settings restart as below to make sure the option is set.
Also, it is not wise to turn the power switch off or remove the plug overnight for a puck.
Just use the remote control to switch off the puck, so it stays in standby.
The puck runs on a very low power in standby and it also does updates overnight.
Switching off for a long period will disconnect it from the network and will cause problems on wake up.
A short power restart of a few minutes or a restart using the settings restart option is fine and will keep the network connected.
Settings restart:
Go to Settings>Systems Management>Resets & Updates
Select Restart device
Your Sky Stream puck will perform a reboot. It will take a few minutes to complete

Thanks just done the reset hopefully it works will not know now probably till tomorrow morning . As for the other pucks I am aware re overnight updates I normally leave them all powered up when a new update is rolled out till they all update . Up to yet , well over a year , never had any issue reconnecting to network when I have them powered down just ironically the one box which is always on .

Try removing the cat 5 cable and using wifi only.
also if you have any switches in between the router and device this can cause some weird issues. I would also try a different cat 5 cable
is your EE internet mobile or landline based ? Mobile internet is also prone to causing weird issues

Thanks internet is fibre to the property no switch but the cat 5 cable is pulled tho the cabling conduit where the sky Q satellite cables were installed . ( ie in the walls ) . Since I paid for the cat 5 to be routed via the conduit I really want to use it as EE wi fi is very unstable . Am getting two brand new cat 5 cables put in after Xmas .
