this is really scary. but its the risk u are taking buying ship from oversea.
no local warranty.

better stick to my plan to get a basic entry level... instead of headache.
i m goin with mxq pro plus. rm215 with 6mth warranty.
even if got problem later at least i wont feel so bad...

i got the box for less than RM300 from GearBest months ago. Yes, shipped from China. Comes with Android Nougat.

GB is selling the Alfawise version of H96Pro+. Should be the same with the non branded H96Pro+. Can head over to FreakTab to have a read on the reviews there. Quite a big community, and they have their own Kodi fork: FTMC. Got custom firmware as well.

Not sure about Lazada warranty. U may check with the seller. If got warranty pretty sure its time consuming since u need to post it back. The bright side is the price. Hehe.

6 month warranty sounds great. Good luck bro.

Btw, is that our local seller?

How is the performance of your Alfawise H96 Pro+? Video support HDR10? Can play Dolby Vision file? Kodi support? I'm more concern about HD audio support, can passthrough DTS-HD, DTS-HD MA and Dolby True-HD 5.1 channels or not?
Ship from oversea normally is without warranty and this will be clearly stated in Lazada as well. However, if the box is faulty when you received it, you can always return to Lazada for full refund.

sorry because i don't use all that. I only use for normal Kodi streaming. Bought it due to it's RAM, and storage size and speed. I use BT headphones most of the time. Good enough for me.

Recently I got a chance to use a MXQ Pro+. Was happy initially but soon realized a shortcoming.

Poor wifi signal/connection !

I open up the box and compare it to the ones I found in the net.

The one which I have does not even have an internal wifi antenna, so I can't even relocate the antenna further away.

Nobody has yet complained about MXQ pro poor wifi signal. But a similar box M8S has been reported in the internet for having poor wifi signal.



But this square box above looks like also similar OEM product. 

there are various types of antenna design...some are better than others...you need to know what to look for...if it is really missing then you have a serious problem...

example my vensmile u1 uses an internal antenna but reception is better than my himedia Q16 with external antenna...

some antenna are more directional...you can install a wifi signal app...rotate the box up/down/left/right/etc...see which position is better...

Yeah I know it is a problem, as I compare side by side my android handphone is able to connect to the far away router whereas this box MxQ pro+ is intermittently dropping its connection. And when I open it up, I don't see any cable at all, everything is just circuit board and components.

But after I made my phone as wifi repeater/extender, it is able to use by phone to connect to internet, and the connection is stable. That's because my phone and the MxQ is only 5 feet away.

how is the wifi reception speed like after u got that stable connection ?

H96Pro+ also a box without external wifi antenna. Any issue with the wifi connection ?

sorry because i don't use all that. I only use for normal Kodi streaming. Bought it due to it's RAM, and storage size and speed. I use BT headphones most of the time. Good enough for me.

Can help to do some tests or not? Just download some test/demo files (with HDR video and HD audio) from internet and play it via USB port. H96 Pro+ price is really attractive. Not concern about wifi connection as LAN is the best option.

do you guys shutdown the box often or let it on?
