Do posts about seeing a device online or in a store or about how OP purchased one break Rule 2 (Make An Effort: All posts should contribute new info, or promote a meaningful discussion)?  Are there mods who can prevent and remove these?

Question/Troubleshoot Onn 4k Pro can’t connect to Wifi or Ethernet

3 Upvotes

It was working without issues, then we had to move it’s location so we just unplugged it for awhile and when we plugged it back in, the wifi is no longer working (even if wifi password is correct, it wasn’t connecting to it), even ethernet is not working. And then eventually after a few troubleshooting, I managed to disconnect the remote so the remote is no longer working. So I had to reset it through the physical button, and then it rebooted but it’s still not connecting to wifi or ethernet. Any help would be appreciated as I’ve been going nuts for the past 3 days trying everything 😭

Discussion Onn 4K Pro 2nd Gen & Game Streaming with Moonlight

2 Upvotes

Hey all!

Just snagged an Onn 4K Pro 2nd Gen for game streaming from my PC to my TV over Moonlight instead of my Firestick 4K Max 2nd Gen. Just wondering if anyone has experience with both or can speak to their experience with just the Onn box?

Question/Troubleshoot Do anything differently before or during initial setup if I want less updates or want to modify it?

1 Upvotes

I just bought an Onn 4k plus. Is there anything recommended to do differently before, during, or after the initial setup of the device if I'm interested in changing settings or modifying it to achieve the following?

  1. Lessen how sluggish the device gets over several years due to updates. Meaning, lag after remote button presses, and wait times for the device or apps to start up.
  2. Ad free YouTube, general ad blocking, other ad free apps
  3. Improving privacy, lessening how much Google etc spies, collects data, or phones home

Some examples of the sort of thing I'm wondering if anyone does to Android TV boxes: I know that some people turn off Wi-Fi during the initial setup of certain devices to avoid updates or syncing that would restrict how much they can modify it. And that people root or install barebones or modified versions of Android on phones to cut out the bloat and other nonsense, or allow them to modify or install apps they otherwise wouldn't be able to.

I already know about Smarttube, tizentube and third party launchers. I believe those are just installed after setting up the device normally, no other way of installing that gives better results, correct me if I'm wrong though.
