Problem with Formuler z7+?

by blindfist926

I was having a lot of buffering hardwired connected to LAN, I thought it might have been my VPN but with VPN off or on I was only able to get around 20Mbps with +/- 5Mbps. Currently I am able to stream without buffering now using the wifi adapter that was included. But again, with or without VPN I am only seeing about 50Mbps, what's up? I know my desktop is able to get 1/4 of my full bandwidth speed of 400Mbps. Obviously I don't expect that much but I thought I would see atleast as much hardwired as I am currently seeing with the wifi adapter.

On my Fire 4k I found out the network adaptor is 100mb max so over wifi I get 250mbs due to it be next to the router, 5ghz and AC.

I would guess your adaptor is the issue - maybe buy a cheap android compatible USB gigabit one?

I am pretty sure the Wi-Fi adapter are know to be garabge.

I use LAN cable and I get as much as my router can give it.

Great box the EPG is also like a an old style cable box.

Did u try changing the Ethernet cable? Made sure it's cat5e or cat 6?

Did you get around to fixing this issue? How bad is TBE buffering? Like every how many second or minutes does it buffer?

I ask because I'm ready to buy this box but if this issue seems annoying.

i am having the same buffering issue on z7+. i just posted another thread for the same.

when i use the dreamlink T2, i dont get any issues with buffering. neither does the mag box has buffering.

any suggestions?
