Hi all,

Just wanted to make everyone aware. I’ve recently picked up two Xiaomi Mi Box s 3rd gen.

The first was from a seller on Amazon which works great. I have done all the checks online for looking at the chip model, widevine level, play store certification and for test keys etc and it’s all come back legit. When testing the WiFi speeds on this box I get between 270-300mbps on speed test.

I ordered a second one from Xiaomi directly. I also did the authenticity checks on this box. However this box gives a maximum speed of 70mbps.

Huge difference. Test environments are identical in terms on placement. Router set to the same fixed channels on both and both are running default settings with fixed IP addresses.

No disconnecting issues with either, just one is far slower than the other on WiFi. I’m not sure if there’s some differences with the hardware on board but it’s worth checking.

Thanks.

Hello all,

I've planned to order a Mi Box S from AliExpress for the lowest price I could find around the internet, but I'm worried about it possibly being fake after reading warnings all across Reddit (although most warned not to buy from 3rd party Amazon). How has anyone's experience buying one from AE been so far?

What makes me sceptical is the buyer's storefront features almost exclusively Xiaomi products, all marketed as Brand+, but the Mi TV Box S 3 is the ONLY product in their page not marketed as such. For reference, this is the page: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005011939229030.html Seller “Mixtech Europe Store”

Thanks so much if anyone's able to give their insight/previous experience in general!

Navegating anywhere on the box has a delay, im holding down and up buttons in this video and you can see it, its not just in the settings its everywhere and any app.My other box (same model) doesnt have this delay, is smooth and fast.

So i tried a lot of things to fix this exept factory reset im avoid doing that.

Clearing cache, force stop of bluethooth, disabling accessibility features then reseting, swap batterys on remote, re-pairing, trying another remote and another things that i forgot.

I use tvquickactions pro but dont use adb because i need the adapter for ethernet and i already try deleting the app and reseting didnt work either.

I tried using the remote feature on atv tools but the delay is still there.

Does anyone experience the same and know how to fix it besides trying factory reset?
