Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me here. I have a friend with an MK808 Pus android box ( which I sold him) connected to his Samsung 55" JS9000 9 Series TV.
His wifi signal strength is not adequate to run the box in it's location so he invested in a Belkin N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender. All worked well for a night but the following day he could not connect anything to his wifi, not iPads, the TV,the android box or his Galaxy phone.
After much messing around he rang his provider UPC and they instructed him to unplug the Belkin extender and they reset his modem remotely. Now all is connected except the android box. They told him that the wifi processor in the android box is corrupting the wifi signal and making everything go down and that the addition of the extender is compounding the issue.
I have a problem with that as I don't believe the android box could corrupt the signal. I agree that it probably has a weaker processor but I don't understand how it would corrupt the signal in such a way as to prevent apple devices from connecting ! If anything it should just get the weakest signal.
I'm thinking that the tech guy he spoke to in UPC ( his provider) is probably under instructions to dis android boxes at every opportunity.
Having spent an hour on the phone with the tech guy, he's now afraid to re connect the android box for fear that it will corrupt everything again and he'll be right back where he started. His brother in law has been singing the praises of Apple TV and he's going to loan him the Apple TV box to see if that will work for him. My argument is that it will of course work as the processor is going to be stronger than the android box.
Comments and suggestions would be very welcome.
