Mind to check the internet speed. I got only 25Mbps for internet speed.

The TX3 has no external antenna, so it is quite possible the built in antenna has poor reception as you cannot orient it to optimize reception signal. So TX3 wifi whether it's 5G or 2.4G, it is going to be quite hopeless.

LAN it is based on 100BaseT, transfer speed should be closed to 100 Mbps. Getting 25 mbps from LAN cable is unacceptable. It should be 50 Mbps or more. Maybe change the cable. doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Nope because I have no problem getting 100Mbps with my phone. Just now I use Ookla app to test and get 50Mbps. Still far away from 100Mbps. Will try with new cable when available.

if nominal 100mbps, and u get wifi 50mbps on the box, it is good.

if u use LAN cat 6 cable, u should get 105 mbps.

yr phone is likely a better MIMO ac 5ghz device, so u can get full 100.

phones or boxes or pc or tablet... this "WIFI-router sucks" issue been trashed to death a zillion times in broadband section with a thousand experts in a hundred threads.

no point discussing here.

I just want to know if it is normal to get that speed for this box or any other setting that I might need to use. Not discussing about "WIFI-router sucks"... etc... so it is not really pointless.

Yeah agree with you, and quite surprisingly many users here are always willing to admit they are TX3 owners, but very few willing to tell you what internet speed they are getting from the box.

Sounds like they have never tested the speed of the box, particularly from the wifi ( including 5G). Many tvboxes have very poor wifi performance.

I am using 100mbps unifi, when using wifi it can reach 30mbps max.
When using ethernet, the value is double.

For the purpose of AstroGo and even 4k youtube streaming, 30 mbps is already adequate, if the 30mbps is consistent.

So did you test the LAN speed or the 5GHz speed of your box ? What did you managed to achieve ?

Ac wifi or N only?

Didn't check. Was in a hurry to get it all setup for my new place. AOTG working was all I cared about at that time. I plan to get another unit for my own use. Will test later.

I bought this https://shopee.com.my/Tanix+TX3+Mini+2-16+G...=539.37351873.7
at RM114.95

Seems like there are 2 TX3 items now from that seller. This one is slightly cheaper. https://shopee.com.my/Tanix-TX3-MINI-H-Amlo...2699.3806265289
