Do Wi-Fi mesh systems work with sky q multiscreen?

Sky Q is a mesh network already, that's why the engineer said it wouldn't work. Each Sky Q box gives off it's own meshed Wifi network.

The sky q box mesh system only works with sky q WiFi not any other provider.

You can use a mesh system with sky multi screen. I too have Virgin and the Superhub 3 is a pile of ****. Purchased the TP Link Deco M4’s and haven’t looked back since.

The main SkY Q box connects to your router to allow for internet. It then has its own mesh system with the mini boxes. The mini boxes use internet through this mesh system so if your main sky q box doesn’t have an internet connection nor will they.

My Sky Q box is connected to one of the TP link hubs via Ethernet and has been fine, the mini boxes have had no issues.

You’ve been lucky - works in router mode but I prefer access point, at which stage Sky Q loses all internet functionality (downloads, voice search etc). Even TP link staff told me it doesn’t work with Sky Q. Spent hours faffing about with it the last few days.

I have 350mb to but only get around 200 upstairs

On Virgin i pay for 200 and get about 225 wired to PC.
If i stand next to the Super LOL Hub at one foot away, then i get 40-50 wireless. Shocking really.

+1 for the Virgin Super(lol) Hub as a pile of steaming ****.

I am currently looking at a Mesh system and will give these a look.Thanks

Thanks for that do u get full speed around you’re house?

I’m on 200mb on 5ghz I get about 140mb around the house but there are some weak spots still where I will get only 30-40mb but that’s ok I can live with that. If right next to the one connected to the router I will get 200mb.

I have placed the routers in rooms where it’s going to be used basically. Back of the house nobody goes so it’s fine. All good from me

I got the google nest and point a few weeks ago. Hasn’t affected my multi room boxes.

Fair enough I don’t have room for an external Ethernet switch so I wanted a mesh system which had 4 Ethernet ports

Yep, they only work in router mode. Access mode seemed more stable and quicker speeds, b7t I can’t be bothered having to reboot the routers every time I want to download a programme
