It’s an essential accessory that enhances the viewing experience and makes your entertainment journey even more enjoyable. FAQs I hoped you liked this article, for those that follow my blog sorry for leaving this one so long. If you have any comments or questions, please do post them within the Blog Comments section below. Providing you are patient, I endeavour to answer all of these personally myself and I try to help if I can. I must stress the following as I cannot help you this way. Yes, you can use a Sky Wireless Connector with any Sky box that has an Ethernet port. This includes Sky+ HD boxes, Sky Q boxes, and older Sky HD boxes. However, it’s worth noting that some older models may require an additional adapter to support wireless connectivity. Before purchasing a Sky Wireless Connector, make sure that your Sky box is compatible and has the necessary ports. The easiest step of all is achieved when your Sky box comes with built-in Wifi. You will find that many of the newer boxes will come with this as standard, but if you have an older model, as many of us still do, you will need to perform the actions listed in either the wired or wireless section above to connect the WiFi to your Sky box normally. This method is not only easy but it is convenient. Choosing to go wireless means you will have fewer cables trailing around the house, especially if your Sky box and the wireless router are in two different rooms. To start this process, simply press the WPS button on your router, then press the WPS button on your connector, to connect the two devices. Detailed steps are below.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of the Sky Wireless Connector’s wireless connection may vary depending on factors such as the distance between the Sky box and the router, the presence of physical obstacles, and the overall strength of your Wi-Fi signal. However, with a strong and stable Wi-Fi network, the Sky Wireless Connector can deliver reliable and high-quality performance. Benefits of Using a Sky Wireless ConnectorYou mean this http://www.sky.com/products/kit/wireless-connector/ ? No this won't do what you want. This is used to connect your sky box to your router wirelessly (without cables), This mainly allows (compatible) Sky boxes to access Sky's on demand service. As mentioned above, the Sky Q system works over a 5Ghz mesh network. The mini-boxes connect wireless to your main Sky Q box, not to your WIFI. This means that all boxes need to be within the range of the main box or another Sky Q product. As with all wireless systems, you can run into trouble when you are beyond the range of the wireless signal which may cause the signal to drop out or not connect at all. Most WIFI systems use 2.4Ghz, but 5Ghz is also used for some of the later WIFI standards and faster connection/ internet speeds. The problem with using the higher frequency band is that the range within buildings is not as far as the lower 2.4Ghz range, meaning the larger the house or the more walls the wireless connection needs to pass through the more likely you are to run into trouble. The mini-boxes are easily set up using an WPS push button connection.

The advantage of multiroom is it means you can watch different channels from the main box, but the disadvantage is that there is an additional subscription charge per month, plus the boxes need to be plugged in to a phone line. If being obstructed by any way, try moving your Sky Q mini-box out into the open so the signal isn’t being restricted by anything. This may mean removing it from inside a cabinet or from behind a TV. Before we progress I think it will be helpful to discuss how the Sky Q wireless connection works between the main Sky Q box and the mini-boxes. I have already written an article on how Sky Q works so I will keep this brief here. The advantage - no cables to run. Disadvantage - Expensive, prone to interference (wifi, microwave, etc), range may be an issue meaning no/poor picture. I've even had the issue where next door could control my box as although most senders have diffferent "channels" to avoid clashes with neihbours/interference on the video, most don't have 'channels' for the IR sender part (some do though)
