The cheap Chinese plugs that come with all cheap/unbranded items are very faulty. I think there is a thread somewhere here from a year or two ago. Somebody took a few of them apart on a Russian blog and showed all of the different ways, how easy it is to have them blow. TBH, I'm surprised that there hasn't been any fires directly blaming one of these boxes, or worse. The box sellers are playing a numbers game.

I ordered one of these through Gearbest, and I'm expecting it in the next week or so, price was slightly dearer, but I'd a load of points to use so it worked out more or less the same. Where I'm thinking of using it, I'd prefer to use it wireless .........

It's only 2.4mhz tough. I have both 5 and 2.4mhz SSIDs active. It didn't pick up 5mhz. FYI: Netflix has a new speedtest. Just open fast.com in browser. Works well
