Sky MINI SD501 Wireless Connector

Product Information

Overall, the Sky Wireless Connector adds an extra layer of functionality to your Sky box, allowing you to make the most of your subscription and enjoy a seamless entertainment experience. This requires a specialist crimping tool and can be fiddly if you haven’t done this before but does allow you to cut the cable to the exact right length and makes routing of the cable far easier.

However, it’s worth noting that some older models may require an additional adapter to support wireless connectivity. I recommend reading our previous blog – Powerline Adapters, All You Need To Know for more information on this but one potential caveat is that the adapters need to be installed on the same electrical circuit which isn’t always the case. It essentially converts the wired ethernet connection of your Sky box into a wireless connection, eliminating the need for ethernet cables or a direct connection to your broadband router. One potential downside however is that with the mini-box pressed between the wall and the TV, this may impede the wireless signal a bit.This means you can watch your favorite shows and movies on different TVs simultaneously, without the need for additional Sky boxes or cables. The Sky Wireless Connector is a device that allows you to connect your Sky box to your home’s wireless network. With its easy setup and user-friendly interface, you can effortlessly access on-demand content, catch-up TV, and more, all without the hassle of running cables or dealing with messy wires. As long as you already have a network connection, there are three possible ways you can connect a Sky Box to your WiFi normally.

It also allows you to remotely control your Sky box through the Sky Go app, providing flexibility and convenience for managing your entertainment setup.Enhanced Flexibility: By using a Sky Wireless Connector, you gain the flexibility to place your Sky box anywhere in your home, as long as it’s within the range of your Wi-Fi network. Once you have one, simply locate the internet port (pictured above) on your WiFi router and plug the wire in, then do the same on your Sky box. It’s fine to connect between network switches or via the Ethernet ports on your internet router but if this is the case both the Sky Q and the mini-box both need to be connected via Ethernet to the network. I don't have any issues with any other devices on my network, ipod, phones, tablet, netbook, pc all work ok, just seem to have an issue with the sky box.
