I just purchased 3 of these from Amazon.ca and the wired LAN speeds are just terrible! I have several other older android boxes that stream from my local LAN perfectly fine (S802) but these S905X boxes are just horrible! I have played with advanced settings in Kodi to adjust buffers etc but nothing works. I simply cannot stream MKV files over local LAN without major buffering issues.
When I went poking around the hardware info in Kodi I noticed the CPU temperature was 122F! Whereas my older S802 box runs at 32F. Is this just a reporting error in Kodi? Or are these boxes actually burning up at 122F? No wonder they don't work properly. These will be going back to Amazon I'm afraid.
More info... I just tried WiFi and it works blazing fast and streaming from local LAN works perfect with WiFi. The ethernet port or ethernet driver must be broken because I get very slow speed and buffering problems when using ethernet.
