As I said, a later version of the N5 Max has gigabit LAN, within your budget.

Hi bro, did u managed to get your box to be un-rooted following the above steps.

Thinking of getting this box for movie streaming & media playback frm KODI since now price < RM200 which makes a value buy i suppose. :thumbsup:

Not sure as never bought from Aliexpress before but If u opt for the free shipping then it would take about month dude.. If u opt for the paid shipping which is about RM60 then shud get it in 2 weeks I think. You can check out other Beelink's other official stores as well like Bangood, Gearbest.

Both the A95X F3 and Magicsee N5 Max have all of that except the gigabit LAN port and DDR4. At first I thought that would be a limitation and held off buying for that reason, but then I saw that UHD streaming only takes about 25Mbps bandwidth, so 100Mbit LAN is plenty if that's all you're doing. Some of the later N5s have gigabit LAN, though. It's a good box, slightly better quality than the A95X, and Magicsee actually have a support website.

Yeah the Magicsee N6 Plus has got the gigabit LAN port but is on the high cost side..and heard before that for UHD streaming needs about 20 - 30Mbps of bandwidth but i think having a gigaport would be a good substitute should the Wifi signal not up to par/unstable especially when we can get it for < RM200 budget.  wink.gif

Every time I hear about gigabit Ethernet “not needed”, I chuckle.. Sure in a perfect world you fight only need 30Mbps to stream “UHD” content, but more often than not... said “UHD” is not actually real UHD content. Neither do most households only consist of a single user, single device using the internet at only one time. Moving on, there are other uses where that gigabit Ethernet port (which should be standard across boxes today and a minimum requirement) comes in handy. Being able to download or upload faster. 500Mbps+ download speeds are SIGNIFICANTLY faster than 30/100Mbps. Can be the difference between waiting for a short while for that huge game data to be downloaded or having multiple high speeds downloads ongoing in the background, while comfortably streaming true 4K content in the foreground. IMO.

Another thing.. Some things I look for in my media boxes are:
*Manufacturer support for ideally 2 years minimum. I don’t think can expect more. Except for the Nvidia Shield .. another topic.. biggrin.gif
*Stable stock ROM
*Even more stable custom ROMs options with added features. Although this is negligible if the ori stock ROM is already excellent.
*Solid reliable performance. Powered on each & every time..
*Build quality.
*Good heat dissipation.
*Decent HD Audio support.. Passthrough very important.
*Easy to flash and hard to brick.
*Excellent Kodi support.
*Warranty (if available)
For the sake of this thread... Beelink boxes thus far, fit the above criteria and more.. So I’d be more comfortable plonking cash for em than the others listed above. Hopefully I can get hands on experience with them for a fair comparison. Thanks for all the input and questions.. They are most welcome.. icon_rolleyes.gif
