Yup... The kiddo reported a post of mine too.. Hey kid..

It's a good box.. However, depending on your needs.. One can't simply conclude without additional info.

I now have the MiBox. No ethernet connection and reception is lousy even when connection is great. Actually I don't watch it but the missus does. Mostly Chinese and Korean series and movies. So basically, the android box will be used for that. Hopefully I can get some HK channels as well.

For your HK channels it's about software and not hardware. Actually MiBox is good enough if you setup properly.

Too free or butthurt i think.

Yes I know it is the software and I have no problems with that. It is definitely the hardware cos my phone is running at over 40mbps at the exact spot where the MiBox is whereas the MiBox is only downloading at less than 1mbps. Maybe it is the content provider but I have no way of testing it. No RJ45 socket in the MiBox and that's why I am thinking of upgrading to an android box with ethernet connection. It is never too expensive to keep the missus in the bedroom while I watch football on tv (astro) outside in the sitting room.

I am now using the DLink DAP-1520 (AC750) extender in my bedroom for the MiBox but will change to the DLink DHP-309 (AV600) Powerline if I get an android box with a RJ45 socket. BTW, if I use the Powerline adapter, all I need is one connected to the router and multiple powerline adapters everywhere in the house, right? They are not individually paired, right? Can I like use two adapters connected to the router? Would that be an overkill and defeats the purpose? (I was born in an era where wifi was a phone line connected from the computer to the phone socket and running at between 25kbps and 50kbps).

In conclusion, the Himedia Q10Pro is ok?

When you say it like this? It's a win! The HiMedia Q10 Pro is more than sufficient... With wireless AC and Gigabit Ethernet... As for powerline connections. As the electrical connection should be along a phase, the Internet connection (thought halved I believe due to either sending signals up or down at a time) will follow. It’s almost impossible, without consulting an electrician, to know how well powerline ethernet will work for you. Even if your house is ideal, the result probably won’t be as fast or as stable as plugging straight into your network with an ethernet cable. So a direct Ethernet connection to the main router still remains the most ideal setup..

i m curious how u came to narrow it all down to the himedia q01pro? becos most people want it cheap cheap; q10pro is among the most costly today - with reason.

u r right about the hardware - good hardware gives u better connectivity besides durability and options for video and audio output. from my experience, himedia hardware is excellent - my oldest one is >4 yrs old, still works good with wifi 50ft with an average asus router.

about powerline, i have never had a need for it but i think they work in pairs and only work on the same phase for 3 phase supply. i think u need not go into that until u tested the box's wifi performance. i bet it will be fine up to at least 40ft unless the environment is wifi unfriendly - highrise, too many neighbor users, plenty of metal in the line of sight.

depending on how u will use the box, the q10pro is more than OK, can do a lot of things. if u use it to the full, making use of the advance features incl 4k/hdr 10bit, hd audio, very good. but if u use it for simple undemanding tasks, it may be underutilized. can read up a bit more here:

II also faced this issue previously..
Simply report my post without any reason
No worry if not make any mistake / wrong, your post won't get deleted & action taken by MOD / Staff

But seriously, this kid should get ban for abusing report button

Guys & Sifus

Chill! Chill!

It was ME who requested mod to DELETE the links i shared previously (incl those that were reposted) since i guessed plenty of you have already downloaded, installed, used & enjoyed them so far. Just to ensure unnecessary or minimise congestion at those 3 key apk....

You guys did NUTTIN wrong

My apology but nuttin personal guys...

Cheers!

P/S: Would appreciate if some of you could delete them yourselves, the links especially, truly appreciate it

Yes, the most ideal setup is out for me cos I did not wire the place up correctly. Initially I thought that my router would be sufficient as it was positioned smack in the centre of the apartment. Apparently not. Won't reach the far corners as there are quite a few concrete walls in between and tearing up the plaster ceiling is not an option now and I have one of the most powerful DLink router (DIR-890L).

I might be tearing up the plaster ceiling later on cos the aircon hoses are leaking... but not until I really have to do so. Now I have small patches on the ceiling but still can make do. Until I do so, which then I will put in the network cables, I have to come up with a solution.

Of course I want it cheap but I prefer quality over affordability and anyway the difference between an average and good android box is not substantial. I am more into high end hifi equipment so MYR500+ is actually (paiseh to say) way cheaper than a pair of XLR interconnect cables that I have.

Yes, I will test the wifi capability first before getting an additional powerline adapter but my current MiBox does not offer me such an option and that is why I opted to replace it with one that does. My positioning between the android box/MiBox and router is over 40ft (approximately 60ft) but my extender is next to it.

Actually I have a pair of Powerlines connected from the router to my kid's room and that works fine. I tested its speed (via Ookla) and was consistently getting between 30-40mbps (all three green lights on). I used that to test my room's connection and it only got an orange light which means that it wasn't ideal. Haiz. That is why I wonder if it only works in pairs or otherwise cos I might another pair (if the wifi option is out) and connect it separately to other power points ie. 2 powerlines to router (on different phases) and two to equipment. I can do that by connecting on to the router and another to the box that hosts the main fibre into the place. Currently I have 6X 20A individual electrical cables from the DB for my hifi setup of which one is used for the Powerline. (You'd be surprised how much juice they need). These are "new" additions I put in last year when renovating the place. I might connect one to the "old" power network to see if I get the three green lights.

Lesson no.1: Put in those damned network cables when renovating. Haiz!!!

that Himedia Q10PRO is around RM 620 mate...

I am still using the stock Unifi Hypptv box Huawei EC2108E which is more old school than the MiBox but I have no problem with streaming. using on iFlix most of the time-but need to constantly update the apps manually otherwise you will see some lags on startup buring during streaming it is perfectly allright





and yup, I am streaming using stock router as well



still thinking to get a better router

RM550 on Lazada now. Supplied by LC Marketing Network Media.

Indeed

Good deal I must say. but my stock hypptv box is sufficient for me right now.

that D-Link DIR-890L is almost RM 1K mate. must be very good stuff. how big is your house anyway?

The kambing link is dead. Anyone kindly enough can share out. Hehe.. thanks in advance.

~3500sf (92X38) condo.
And therein lies the problem. It is quite long.
