I was pretty excited to see the specs in the XRS4000 and have had it for a couple of months now but my excitement has been slowly diminishing as I have been somewhat disappointed with a couple of things.
The box, while connected to my 500 mps internet package and using a live tv subscription works extremely well, it really does shine I have to admit but when I disconnect the Ethernet and use WiFi it's performance is not stable. I have tried using it both on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and they both seem to have the same issues....plays for a while then stops. When I head into the settings it shows (Connected but No Internet), I have to stop the WiFi and restart it for it to work again and then after about 20 to 30 minutes it stops again. After going back to Ethernet there is absolutely no buffering. I have other boxes like Nvidia Shield and another Buzz TV box like my XPL2000 I don't have these issues. So I'm not sure if this is just a one off issue, like I happen to have a bad box or of course it still could be something conflicting with the box I'm not certain.
I have good Asus router and update the firmware regularly. The box is literally 5 meters away from the box with no obstructions or walls and although it works fine on Ethernet its very inconvenient to run it across the living room floor.
I would be eager to hear from others on their experiences with their XRS4000 WiFi or any feedback they may have with my issue.
