Sky Q and minis wired - disable wireless?

I’ve just got VM 1Gig to replace Sky broadband. My SkyQ and 2 SkyQ minis are connected via Ethernet (on unmanaged switches) to the Hub. Should I disable the SkyQ mesh (via the engineer settings) or keep it on? Will the minis communicate with the main box via it’s own mesh when passing over recorded / live satellite contents (saving the VM bandwidth) or am I better disabling the wireless capabilities on all the boxes?  Thanks. 

  • There have been many posts here about problems with VM Wifi and SkyQ kit.  Best to stick to the wired connections and switch IMHO.

  • Thanks. I've gone into the 'secret' Sky menu and disabled Wifi on the 3 sky Q boxes
