Hello,

I had the same problem as you. I looked for a long time and I made like a hard reset ... without success the wifi still did not work. If you have a smartphone do a test by creating a wifi access point and you will see that it works. The problem comes from the internet box and you have to allow access to your beelink. So if it can help you .....:)

Hi Beelink,

Hi all,  I have an issue where I cannot even turn the wifi switch to 'On' in the android settings.   ...

This is now 8 month ago, and still no answer from Beelink!!

I received the GT1 Ultimate a few days ago and the Problem is still the same!

Is this the BEELINK understanding of Support?? Its unbeliveable

Hi
I have similar problem. It was probably changed WiFI MAC address. When I checked it is strange 00:02:00:00:00:00
Bluetooth is Unspecified also doesn't work. My tv box works fine on cable LAN and here address looks good.
Any idea how to restore factory address or put any other address? Any procedure?.

I have a GT1 G912 series and I have the same Wi-Fi problems... the box keeps breaking the connection and cannot make it work continuously. While connected the signal is 'fair', but keeps disconnecting.
I have tried everything I've found on-line: I tried official and unofficial firmwares, I tried to use single and dual-band routers. I even tried to open it and clean the antenna contacts, but nothing works.
The wire connection works, but hey! I bought this one for dual-band wi-fi, and it's supposed to work even if the signal is not 5/5!
I believe this is a design fault and it's incredible this problem hadn't been identified during first tests of the device and not corrected even in more recent versions. They could at least have added an external antenna to improve the situation...

It would be nice if beelink would shred some light on this problem and tell us what to do, if anything is possible, or even tell us to give-up trying because the design cannot be fixed.
I was thinking to manually add an external antenna myself, but what if signal strength is not the problem and the chipset is simply faulty? I'd prefer to invest money in another (working) box instead of loosing money and time in a unfixable brick...

Waiting for your suggestion.

Thank you

This happen with 2.4Ghz connection also? I have GT1 Ultimate G912 and It's working perfectly regarding staying connected. The strength isn't strong considering I'm near the Router. Try to move the Router little closer to the box, or change the Router channel. My guess is, lot of interference between your Router and your Beelink box.

Yes, it happens also with 2.4GHz.
Point is, if I had the chance to use the box so close to the router, I'd use a wire connection ;-)
Wireless is supposed to be useful even if the signal strength is not at full power and if I cannot use it near a tv set, it's simply useless. Nice piece of hardware, but useless. :)
I don't think is an interference problem, first because there are no potential source of interference around, and second because the connection drop would be intermittent, not so regular. It never last more than a couple minutes.
I've never been able to start a movie with Kodi, never able to start a streaming with Netflix or Amazon, never able to browse Internet for more than a couple minutes before getting the message the network was unreachable.
At the same time and at the same location my LG phone works flawlessly, obviously attached at the same wi-fi network.

I know, phones usually cost more than an Android box, but they have also more hardware (screen, cameras, 3g/4g comms, ...), and I believe nowadays nobody would buy any phone with the smallest doubt that wi-fi would work... if not, I'm sure everyone would take the phone back to the shop.

That's what bother me more, nowadays some function are given for granted, but I saw many people is having the same issue with this boxes.

Right now, I'd like to return the product, but for Amazon is too late. I bought it through Amazon from SHENZHEN AZW TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD... do you think they would accept a return? :loveliness:

Would you say your box placement is 20 feet or under? Or is more, by how much?
