Just replaced my Asus RT-N56U with a new Asus RT-AC1200G+ router today... As the Wi-Fi speed is very slow on the old router...

Did some tests earlier... Can smoothly stream torrent movies using Showbox, play 1080p YouTube videos, etc...

Colors is much more vibrant than the miniMXiii due to HDR function in Android 6.0...

Tested on heavy/high bit rate files? How is it? Have you tested it with wireless keyboard/mouse combo?

My current android box is getting old, doesn't support h.265 and whole system lag when using it with a wireless keyboard/mouse after an hour. Still looking for a replacement.

Currently using Mele F10 Deluxe and UKB 500... No issues at all...

Haven't got any heavy bit rates files to test as all from streaming at the moment...

Alright, just saw the review on youtube... it seems it's able to play all kinds of file except that particular file format in 4k. Any overheating issues? Like watching a 2-3 hours movie and then do other things on the box?

Hi,

Sorry for my silly question as this is the first time for me to try to get something directly from China.

Could you share some simple guide to buy from this website as well as what to consider when buying from this kind of website?

Should the device received DoA, what do I need to do to get it replaced.

Do share any other thing that you think a newbie like me would need to know.

Thank you in advance.
*
First register a paypal account and link to your credit card.

Regarding DOA and warranty, read the below:
http://www.gearbest.com/about/warranty-and-return.html

Also ask them to use Kerry Express to ship as Kerry Express will take 7 days to reach your place compared to others' 4 weeks...

Thanks for the reply.

1) So I can't pay directly using my credit card? Instead I need to use paypal for the payment purposes?

2) I can't seem to find option for Kerry Express. They only have:

      a) Unregistered Air Mail  15 - 30 business days
      b) Registered Air Mail  15 - 30 business days
      c) Priority Line            7 - 15 business days
      d) Expedited Shipping    3 - 7 business days
*
1) If anything happens, you can get paypal to refund.
2) Choose the best free shipping and request in the special request box below. Have to type in.

I don't have any high bit rate files to test... I'll search and see if can download any to test...

My WD 1TB works with the GT1. It's formatted as exFAT since long time ago...
