A quick way of putting in password for sky q

Recently upgraded to sky q.  It sometimes disconnects from broadband so I have to reconnect and re enter my password    My question  - is there a quick way to do this so I don't have to keep scrolling up and down?  The sky engineer said there was but didn't show me.

Presumably they meant using the WPS buttons on the router and the main Q box.

@Bear12WPS is the quick way but it only works if Sky is the ISP.

The other way is to use powerline adaptors (or better still Ethernet) between the box and router as neither need passwords.

It is just a quicker way of actually putting in the password, like pressing and holding the button on remote to move to lower case and numbers. As soon as I press the A then that is what appears 😡

If your Q box is close to your internet router, I would just plug in an Ethernet cable.  No hassle of putting in passwords and should be a solid connection.

Unfortunately the router is in the hall. Where would I get an Ethernet cable?
