QUOTE(aceedburn @ Jul 3 2017, 11:37 AM) Yes, I also realised this yesterday night. very slow streaming and constant buffering on iflix and Netflix on mi box. Streaming on my iPad and Apple TV not effected so it's definitely a mi box problem. Am on wifi as well. Could this be an issue with the xiaomi servers? true... on my living room i use nvidia shield, works fine on kodi, even streaming 4K content. but on xiaomi 720p also start to lag. Directtv/Netflix/Kodi all have this issue... by the way what you mean by xiaomi server?  QUOTE(aceedburn @ Jul 3 2017, 01:21 PM) Ok guys and gals. For all those having the slow streaming and buffering problem on mi box international version, I found the fix for it. Thanks man. i will give a try tonite once back home... i dont know does this will effect on my Getflix vpn or not. im still looking for a better usb ethernet adapter, wireless is not a prefer for me.In your wifi settings, change from DHCP to static and use google dns servers. 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 It solved the problem for me and full hd streaming works fine on all apps now. I've only tested this on the international version so I don't know if it'll work for other versions but you can try. I have Open DNS servers configured on my router and don't have problems with any other devices. |

Maybe because the mibox only has a USB2 port. errmmm.... now should i get the adapter or not....need to test the wifi connection again. will try with different router and see hows the connection.Now the dongle is sitting in my drawer.. |

QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Jul 4 2017, 11:17 AM) Your mileage may vary. For me it was better to use wifi as my router is rock solid and fast, and it's only 2m from the mibox. actually my router sittin just below the mibox.... cause i use xiaomi mi wifi router as extended wifi.. |

QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Jul 4 2017, 12:44 PM) I've never used a mi router before so I don't know how powerful it is (or not). thats the thing... i bought it to extend the signal, for normal facebook / whatsapp usage looks fine.. but when comes to streaming ...anyhow i will try to play around with settings.. else try with other router. |
