We still can't rule out a home network issue and I take it that, running an Ethernet cable is not desirable based on the location. Could be, that location is considered a non-optimal area from your router. Example, there's a particular spot at my place (outskirts of the router's reach) where an iPad can retain a wifi connection but can't connect to the internet.... and after awhile, it will disconnect itself or I'm forced to manually disconnect it.. if I attempt manually connecting back to the network, it simply refuses, despite listing the same network as a selectable choice. Now, if I move closer to or stay in the same room as the router, this iPad suffers no such issues and will stay connected 24/7. On the other hand, internet works perfectly when using a Nexus tablet or smartphones in the same problematic location as the iPad.
So in a way, it could be the box or it's simply too far away from the router and suffers from too much interference. Issue persists while using the 2.4ghz network?
Yes, am using the 2.4ghz network.
I'll try to move the box to another closer location to see whether it will disconnects again.
Question: How to know whether my TP Link router is capable of 5ghz?
By the way, my TP link router should be about 4 to 5 years old. Not sure if it capable of 5ghz or not.
Let's say it is capable, does it runs concurrent 2.4 and 5ghz or do I need to set it?
What would be a good recommendation for a reasonable cost router capable of 2.4 + 5ghz network and also compatible to use with Hypptv?

the problem u describe happens if the connectivity is consistently weak.
i assuming all of yr 3 boxes are on wifi.
u can swap them around to see if the problem is distance, line of sight or box hardware/firmware.
Thanks guys for your help!
my boxes, 30mbps, asus router - good connection at 50 ft.
Only 2 boxes on wifi, both in rooms. The one outside connects on ethernet cable.
Ya, I try to move it to another place to see if the problems persist or not.
