Set up BT SMarthub 2 with wifi switched off, ethernet cable to TPLink Deco M5 in access point mode serving wifi on both bands to a medium sized house.
My Sky Q systems suddenly started freezing about a week ago and would be unresponsive until power cycled. It would freeze after a few minutes.
Sky engineer attended and we tried everything, new Sky Q box, new cables, new LNBs at the dish but it still kept freezing until I ran an ethernet cable from the BT hub to the Sky box and then it was fine. When investigating we noticed as soon as there was internet traffic to/from the Sky Q box it would freeze.
After he left I switched the BT hubs wifi back on, disconnected the ethernet cable from the sky Q box and re-connected it to the BT smarthub wifi. No problems since.
Is there an issue with the mesh wifi not playing nicely with skyQ (which creates it's own mesh network if I understand correctly)?
