    I'm wondering would those €10-20 usb adapters on argos work for boosting wifi on an android box. They are advertised for Laptops but just wondering would they work on an android box.
    Or would anyine have any reccomeddations?
    I dont want to use network plugs?.

    I'd instead recommend those tplink network power plugs. Much better performance.
    Why don't you like them? Streaming is alot of data to buffer

    Yeah I suppose, I have an old pair and they dont seem to be working but they are a few years old now and probably busted so yeah I think your suggestion is the trick. Thanks

    try whatever equivalent of a hard reset on them first, then test with your laptop etc , before spending money on new ones too?
