Hi guys,I just bought a Mi Box S last week. I have TIME broadband at home with the given TP Link router. It seems like I'm having issues connecting my Mi Box S to my router. Tried both 2.4Ghz and 5GHz able to detect and connect, however it shows "no internet". The rest of the devices at home able to connect and browse internet without any issues. I tried set all my wireless router settings to auto but it doesn't help either. If i were to disable the wifi encryption then it works. Another thing that I noticed is that, if it shows connected no internet, I have to manually go Mi Box S setting change to the correct date and time, then it works, but I have to do it everytime when i power on the Mi Box S which is very troublesome. Can anyone please shed some light on my issues?

I had this problem with my mi box s and also mi tv stick recently. Go to wifi settings and choose static IP. For some reason DHCP has problems with some routers. Once you do the static, internet will be rock solid and won’t drop ever. Try it.

Bro, just tested and it works like charm! thanks for your sharing, really appreciate that. I've been searching for solution over the internet and somehow those so called solution doesn't really work. Been wasted few days time checking this and that. Really thanks for your help!

Don’t mention bro. Mine is also TP-Link router. Maybe some compatibility issue with DHCP with mi box. Anyway glad it’s sorted. Enjoy!

Need to pay RM10 one time fee right?

You have to pay if you need EPG. The playlist itself is free on the website. Got Malaysia, SG and Indonesia playlist.

Need advice. Just found out puffin browser need to pay subscription d. Any recommendations any other browser that can be install or point me to correct link so that I install others. Tvbrowser don’t work for me which I try. Thanks

Personally have been using TV BRO:-
> Remote D-Pad button act as mouse cursor
> Support Tabs & Bookmarks
> Support changing User Agent
> Able to download files

Download link >> http://tiny.cc/tvbro
Need to sideload since it is only available on mobile version playstore but not Android TV playstore due to google's policy.

Alternative, there is Firefox for Android TV but recommend to use it with remote that has 'Menu' button for best experience.

Thanks great help

Down already...

Can try to sideload Brave Browser. The built in AdBlocker helps a lot.

plan to buy mi box s this weekend, before i buy i want to ask couple of questions.

1. after i buy the box, what should i do? just plug and enjoy?
2. if i had to install something (apps, etc) at mi box, is it difficult?
3. and after i installed the "apps", does the warranty void?
4. i already read at the 1st page, but that was long ago, 2015.
5. should i buy the mi box at authorized dealers (local stores @aeon) or just buy at shopee?

hope sifus about mi box s can clarify me. thanks a ton!

Any recommended seller for buying Mi Box S with pre-installed tv channels? I am looking one for my parents so having the live tv channels are important for me. Also, it should really work seamlessly as I can't be at home to help them debug if there's any issue with the live channels.

Thanks in advance!!

Looking some similar solution too for my parents, came scross StarBox ITV at Rm480 perbox with 2 year warranty, not sure if it is worth it? Claim to be seamless with all apps preinstalled and support helpline, many new movies like Mulan too so looks like can possibly cancel netflix subscription..

These sort of services are 100% from illegal sources. You can use it at your own risk, remember, you are breaking the law and you should understand that.

Also, if their service go kaput, you won't get your money back.

Forget about all these illegal providers and sources. They screw up your system and have hacking tools built in to them to take advantage of your system. Only use whatever apps that are available in the play store.

i'm using svi go (can download from play store) but they do OTA, so at the end still use their version instead the play store
