Mi Box android TV, 5Ghz wifi issues!!

by skatastamoutramou

I recently received the International version of Mi Box android TV and started playing with it. Automatic setup with my android phone didn't work so I set up the device manually and connected it to my home 5Ghz wifi network. Device is connected just fine and I could download updates, apps, watch youtube etc. So what is the problem? I later installed the official android tv remote control app from play store and I noticed that my device was not detected by the app. I also noticed that Mi Box was not detected by Google Home App, so I couldn't use it as a chromecast device. As soon as I connected Mi Box to a 2.4Ghz wifi network problem solved. I could remote remote control device with android tv app and I also could cast everything from my phone to Mi Box. I tried different configurations with dhcp and static ip but 5Ghz problem is still there. It doesn't matter if phone is connected to 5 or 2.4Ghz wifi network, both networks are in the same ip range. Someone on Google support forum told me that he has no issues, so Ι suppose it's not a device software issue. Anyone with the same experience or any ideas what is the problem with 5Ghz wifi. I can live with the 2.4Ghz connection but I prefer to connect my device to 5Ghz .

Thanks

It wasn't working for me until I changed my router's security mode from wp2 to wep, then I was able to do the pairing, and after that, I activated back the wp2 mode in my router. Some other places suggest to turn off WWM from your router.

What router is it? Is client isolation enabled on the 5ghz WiFi?
