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

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...

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...

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

if reception is poor then better connect lan cable.

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 ?

I did not do a speed test, maybe I should go and do one. I will do one tonight.

i'm using LAN because my router is just beside the box. user reviews does say that the wifi will disconnect by itself. never experienced it during my testing of streaming about 30min.

i remember seeing a guide on FreakTab forum to kind of "modify" the internal wifi antenna for better reception. it still sits inside the box. plenty of mod guides, and ideas to decrease the temp too.

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.

can. let me know which file u want me to test better. for the passthrough, any configuration needed? kasi pm if want

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

i m shuttting dowm before go to bed

The box which I have has a power off button on the remote. Pressing it will put the led from blue to red.

I suspect that's not really a real power off, maybe that's a suspend or something.

Cheap no good.. Good no cheap. Want $50 item and expect the world.. Good luck with that.. Better to spend ONCE for that device that handles all above without question.. Than to buy the good enough one only to run into issue in the future.. Then still end up buying the good stuff.

In my experience, items that ship from overseas and sold on Lazada typically do not have warranties. Hence cheaper in most cases.. Majority of these sub $50 devices are mainly for those who desire a simple device with simple functions. Usually with no AVR/HT demands. Direct plug to TV and chill. Kodi support is also so and so.

A mixture of both... No issues.

Blue, red, green or none.. Such states are basically standby/sleep mode.

This one is the speed on my android phone :-



This one is performed on the mxq pro+ using my phone 5 feet away as wifi extender



The download speed is about halfed, but at least it is stable.

mxq pro 4k without WiFi extender
unifi 50

Are you lan connected or wifi connected ?

If wifi, how far away is your router ?

Anyways when I dig the internet about the inside of MXQ pro, it seems to have internal antenna. Sample video shows the inside of the MXQ pro :-



However, my box is a newer version called the MXQ pro plus. Here is how it looks like the inside ( there is a date on the board ).



Obsolutely no antenna cable. Clean looking, does not look like has been damaged or anything.

WiFi connected
around 3m
