Review on X96 Android TV Box Media Player: Enhanced Performance with 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM, and Amlogic S905X3 by Troy Boren

Revainrating 2 out of 5

just trash. BIG network problem. Keep looking elsewhere

I had a minix box that worked really well but Android 6.x and Kodi cannot be updated. Bought it after reading the review here. Unfortunately, this box has a big problem with the ethernet network. I'm an IT guy and I do networking for my home, from connecting a CATS 6 cable to setting up multiple PoE cameras, hotspots and Raspberry Pi. so i know what i'm talking about. The problem is in the box, no matter what cable is connected to it. The same cables used in other devices are fully functional. If the network is lost I have to turn the box back on and this happens multiple times a day which is very annoying. It also proves it's not the cable. I've seen the support guy reply to other users that the network cable is dangling, lol, complete nonsense. Either he doesn't have IT skills or he's just lying that he doesn't have a power button. In order to physically reset the power supply, I have to pull the cable! What a stupid design! The GUI is bad too.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Expensive
