Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The sky booster is for my sky q TV box. It is connected to a switch and connects my sky q TV boxes to each other via a hidden network separate to the Orbi. I disconnected this and had the same problem with the phones not getting an IP address occasionally for a few minutes. After about 5 minutes I finally get an IP address.
