Are you getting Sky Q error code MR106, and you can’t watch your favorite content anymore?

In this short post, we’ll show you exactly how to resolve this error code on your Sky Q box with two quick workarounds.

What causes the Sky Q error?

The Sky Q MR106 error usually occurs when there is an issue connecting to the Sky Q box or the mini box. You may also see the error message saying, ‘You can’t watch TV right now as there is a connectivity problem’.

If either your Sky Q or Sky Mini Box loses connection to the internet, you will lose access to the majority of Sky’s features, such as downloading content, streaming movies, or accessing your account.

How to fix the Sky Q Error MR106?

Step 1 – Hard Reboot of the Router

The first step in fixing the error is performing a hard reboot of the router. 

  • Turn off your router
  • Unplug all cables from the router
  • Wait 30 seconds
  • Replug the cables 
  • Power on router

Hopefully, your connectivity issue is now fixed. If you are still having trouble connecting, you can try moving your mini-boxes closer to the main box.

Alternatively, an ethernet cable can be used as a short term solution by connecting it from your Sky Q Box to your mini box. Generally, an ethernet cable provides a much faster connection than a wifi connection.

Sky Q Wireless Booster

Weak Wi-Fi signals can be the reason you are getting the error code. To fix this, use a Sky WiFi booster that helps improve your box’s connection by strengthening those hard-to-reach areas in your home.

To take full advantage of your wifi booster and Sky Q Box, ensure that your devices are out in the open and not obstructed by other objects, and try to keep them away from other electronic devices.

Conclusion

In this short guide, we’ve discussed how to fix Sky Q error MR106. You can do this by hard resetting the router or using a Wi-Fi booster to improve signal strength.
