A decent remote can be bought for €10+ (better than the crud that comes with the MXQ) and an Ethernet Dongle for maybe €3. But, personally, I can't stand dealing with that store. Although that does seem to be the cheapest around - which isn't surprising at the moment they're in the middle/end of a massive campaign to win back all of their customers that have left them, and have paid to get unbanned from many forums. Take advantage of that offer, but I wouldn't recommend returning. I'd imagine they are original ones, but be aware, an awful lot on that site isn't.

You have to take the US plug though but you can add an adapter from them for $1.50 as I did in case they don't send one. Always handy to have anyway. I've been through dozens of these and I still swear by them for reliability. They never overheat like the newer model S905 and despite having higher spec boxes sitting here in front of me, I still use one myself as there's nothing wrong with it!http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box/pp_126894.html UK adapter if needed here:http://www.gearbest.com/iphone-cables-adapters/pp_311119.html

However I agree they wouldn't be my first choice of company to deal with, it's just that at $20 it was a steal for a very reliable device, so I bought a couple at that price. However that deal is over now and they are back up to $30, so wouldn't recommend now. I just use and give a wireless mouse with each device and it does the job as most people wouldn't be doing a whole lot of typing or playing games. As regards the Ethernet dongles, have you found any that work above 7mbits on Android? I've tested a few of the cheap ones and while they have Android drivers, they all seemed to have that 7mbit limit. The only one I found so far was an expensive one from ebay which I'm using myself, that was guaranteed to work at higher speeds. Indeed I get 40mbits from it. The limited ones are pointless as, if your router is that close that you can wire it, you would get better Wifi speeds anyway!

coldfire1x wrote: » Is it the Beelink one you are talking about? No problem with the wired connection at all. I have it wired and its working away fine. Make sure there's no fault with the wire or port on the router. Try connecting you laptop with the same wire. If everything is fine then you can try resetting your box.
