Guys
I have had it with my MAG box , and 2 other mags that I run for my family. They are MAG250 and MAG256 models.
The boxes are consistently freezing and buffering on movies/streams.
They are all run off different ISPs and the bandwidth is significant in all cases to run all (25 - 85Mbps)
The O/S is running the latest firmware, however this hasn't been updated in a few years by infomir.
I've reset boxes/factory wiped/changed numerous buffering settings, but nothing works.
Randomly, it will work fine for a day or two, but it seems to revert to type.
Again, this doesn't matter if it's on Wi-Fi or plugged by RJ45 directly into the router.
The boxes were fine when first purchased, but over the last number of months the issues with them has left me frustrated.
I do like the remote control, which makes is very easy for users to navigate through the channels/movies.
What are my options here, as I want to drop this out through the window and look at other hardware.
There are a lot more MAG models available now than 3 years ago (which might explain last of firmware updates on the MAg250/256 - as I believe the issues are software related)
Should I risk getting a newer MAG , or go for a different type of hardware with a remote control , which a similar GUI.
Help/advice greatly appreciated .
