Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not gigabit - well, kinda.

Facing the same problem as others, the device does not support Gigabit speeds through the Ethernet port. I have a USB3 to GB adapter but figured I didn't need to use it since the specs on this device say it supports gigabit. Too bad they didn't make this box with Windows 7. Very snazzy, it was easy to set up, but gigabit speed is a big issue for me. Update after a week of use: I found out the gigabit issue, it was due to drivers and drivers not loading correctly based on the updates Windows is currently releasing for Win10. Also my printer stopped working with all my Win10 devices. I've increased the overall rating but there are still issues I'm finding in the build. It plays 4k videos flawlessly and works very well as a Plex server, but still fixes some issues. I would recommend this to those who know enough to look for answers to the small questions that are bound to arise.
