How to fix the Sky Q Error MR106

Step 1 – Hard Reboot of the Router

The first step in fixing the Sky Q Error MR106 is by 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

As a last resort, the Sky WiFi booster is a product designed to help 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.
