These wifi settings are of my router. All other devices android ipads laptops work fine but my mibox gives 2kbps and lags and cannot play a video even. As soon as i turn on mobile hotspot with same wifi on my phone and laptop.
The mibox runs like a beast on the same internet. Guys please help me out what settings on my router is causing this. I dont have a wireless ac router so tell me workarounds on this router.
To start, your wireless settings are a no-go. The only channels you should be using are 1, 6, and 11. Any other channel is gonna have overlap from multiple other channels. Grab a wifi analyzer app on your phone and scan nearby channels to see which out of the 3 I listed is least crowded. Does your router have an N-only or G/N mode? No need for B in this day and age. Also, can you run both 20/40mhz? That will ensure maximum compatibility. The reason for the lag may just be interference. Try all these settings, power cycle everything, run a speed test, and report back.
2.4 put on channel 1, 20mhz 5ghz try channel 36, 40mhz. If 36 isn't good go to 40.
Put mi box on 5ghz if you can get strong signal
If you have a good enough router can I suggest you enable everything, disable b compatibility, and put the channels on auto? The router will try to identify the best channel combination. Check what it does and report back. Also try a speedtest in that mode.
You can buy usb to lan adapter. On chip ASIX AX88179 (example http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ugreen-3-Ports-USB-3-0-Gigabit-Ethernet-Lan-RJ45-Network-Adapter-Hub-to-1000Mbps-/152201585121?epid=530578998&hash=item236febe1e1:g:Vb8AAOSw-itXrCim )
So don't do that?
