Hi, I'm a new Xiaomi Mi Box S user.

I have a question, I bought ugreen sub3+ethernet port to RJ45 and a Cat6 RJ45 flat ugreen Cable... But the box does not seem to connect to internet via the ethernet.

I tried restarting, forget wifi, disabling wifi. but none worked.

I am using the unifi silver coloured modem, connectted to a black cylindrical wifi modem (i dont actually know what the black cylindrical tower does),

I connected the LAN to the silver modem as that silver box is where the optical cable comes in... The LAN2 (the place i connect the mibox s) is blinking, but there is no internet detected from the mibox...

Can anyone advise on this?

You’re connecting your lan cable in the wrong device. The white one is the fibre modem. You need to connect the LAN cable to the black wifi router and all will work good.

Thank you for the quick response. smile.gif

I've connected the cable to the black wifi modem. THe ethernet now shows connected with a long string of numbers at the bottom.

But I still cant connect to internet. when i Open Apps like YouTube it says I am not connected and when i open another app like unifi it says there is an error.

Tried opening google play just for the sake of it, and it would not open as if I am not connected to internet.

Do I need to change the IP settings with DHCP or Static or anything?

Update:
I changed from LAN1 on the black modem to LAN4 on the black modem. And somehow it is working now. Maybe the LAN1 port is damanged?

I think lan 1 may be reserved for unifi tv perhaps. Glad all is working well for you now.

i see... anyway, thank you very much... i'll read up more on the other things like kodi and stuff in the future... for now, only for utube and unifi tv an also for Netflix (potentially, have not bought it yet)

Again, thank you very much for the help. i really appreciate it..
