Yesterday, my mother accidentally converted my 2nd MiBox to Android 8 (wasn't going to update cause she's old and I don't want her complaining about the UI... Too late now. After the upgrade, she was having MASSIVE connectivity issues where none occurred before (have had some minor connectivity issues with other MiBox, but I can deal). While I was contemplating solutions, including buying her a NVidia Shield, I decided to try to troubleshoot all possible solutions.
I ended up taking her off of the 5 GHz antenna and moving her over to the 2.4 GHz network, which seems to have taken care of the problem. Considering the bandwidth of 2.4 GHz, this should not be the solution that I am seeking? Is my 5 GHz network overloaded? Does 2.4 GHz handle my home architecture better? WTF?
Ideas?
Change the 5 GHz channels in your router
