It might help to know more about exactly which Sky Q equipment you have. I only browsed the Sky web site for a few minutes, and one of the items that sort of "jumped out" was that some Sky Q devices include Powerline networking. It could very well be that the Orbi satellite which is connected to the Sky Q Mini believes it is connected to a switch, which is a "wired" connection. The router, being connected to the Sky Q main box might see the Sky Q Mini through the Powerline network.
Of course, this is all conjecture based on a brief look at the web site. Is there some way to look at the Sky Q main hub settings and see if Powerline is turned on or off?
