    I Factory reset my mxq box this evening as it was running slow and unresponsive.
    Now Since then,when I'm using it, it's killing off my wifi to other devices.
    Box is Ethernet connected to modem and while this is happening I've checked the Router stats and I'm still maintaining my 50/20 profile, so I know it's not a network issue.
    Modem is an F1000.
    Anyone ever come across this problem before?

    Attached is photo showing wifi speeds when using the mxq and when not.

    Check the ethernet port that the MXQ is connected to the F1000 via. Is it flashing like the clappers? Theres your answer.
