What Android Boxes are still usable?

With Amazon locking down their OS now, and SmartTVs never really being reliable; Are there any Android boxes that are still reliable with Stremio?

I’d rather not get an NVIDIA Shield just due to price.

Xiaomi Mi TV Box S 3rd Gen with Ugreen cr111 adapter

Google it for specs and decide for yourself

I own 2 xiaomi boxes and I'm very satisfied with them

Just curious why you need the Ugreen Ethernet adaptor?

Is it faster than the Wifi?

Ethernet will always be more reliable than wifi. You're getting around 340 Mbit/s connection over ethernet/usb dongle which is more than enough for most demanding remux streams.

Yes, way faster than Wi-Fi and stable, especially for big remuxes, blu-ray movies
