Sky Q uses a 5GHz mesh network for video streaming to Sky Q Mini boxes. A mesh network means that, in the system, every Sky Q device (main box, Mini boxes and boosters) acts as a booster, but it’s the system that finds the most efficient and fastest way of transmitting data: your Sky Q Mini box in the bedroom, for example, might send its signal to a Sky Q Booster, which then sends it to the main box. With all these benefits in mind, it’s no wonder that a Sky Wireless Connector is a popular choice among those who want to enhance their entertainment experience and enjoy the convenience of wireless connectivity. Whether you’re a casual viewer or a dedicated binge-watcher, this accessory can make a noticeable difference in your home entertainment setup.
