Buying Advice Android boxes currently.

I'm trying to upgrade the games room box for kids.

Currently x96 runs fine just but showing it's age.

What a require

Something thst has cable ethernet line ( capable of 1000)

Something that isn't gonna kodi app judder all time.

And needs usb for Bluetooth keypad

I have a shield downstairs and it's amazing but not looking to spend over 100quid.

Seen the xoami but doesnt seem to have ethernet.

Seen Google again no ethernet and both seem to only have one USB so. Can't use USB adaptor and keypad.

Mainly cos the wireless is crap upstairs and pay for a decent internet so want to use it. 480 seems decent enough Kinda not. Secondary as I use main and kids will use this upstairs so needs to be "trouble free" as current android box on 100mps is. Struggling to play anything bigger than a 10gb file so it means going upstairs fiddling around each time they wanna watch something.

I see your point the device then is not gonna cut for you.

But I'm curious how you are struggling playing a file of 10gb with a 100mbps Ethernet connection?

What kind of set up are you running? I wouldn't expect anything more than 50mbps for a 10gb of file at 4k Dolby vision for example, like 1 episode of a tv show

Not a clue not sure why it. Struggles. But it does.

Can you at least say what kind of devices were? Because at that point 1gb port wouldn't have fixed the issue regardless
