I don’t have any issues when streaming from one Sky Q box to another, this only seems to happen when I start streaming something through the Disney + or Prime video apps via the Sky Q box.
Any ideas on how best to troubleshoot? This is obviously a deal breaker and will need to return the system if I can’t find a fix.
What is the brand/model internet modem or modem/router you are using? Is your RBR850 set to Router or AP mode? Did you setup address reservation on your router for those specified static IP addresses for your Sky Q boxes?
I read in their forum it appears to be a Sky Q issue with certain streaming apps. And the work around is to use the Smart TV, Firestick or Android box app as a temporary work around.
Other posts suggested change the data usage from automatic to moderate in the Disney app and go to settings then reset the Sky Q boxes. They mentioned only issues is you'll lose all your apps and have to refresh them.

I'm using my router in router mode, it is connected to a Huawei ONT. I do have a reservation setup for the static IPs.
Will try a couple of the things you have suggested.
