So, this week I took delivery of a Beelink GT King. I'm disappointed.
I do have the same issues as a lof of others have here: apparently not working ethernet and only 2.4 G wifi.
In my case, after a while the ethernet started working with it being reported as unavailable, and only when wifi was also enabled. I know as some of my shared resources are only visible on the network when connected through cable, and they did become reachable.
As I live in Europe, I will not return the box, I don't feel like waiting weeks for a new one which might also not have a fully working ethernet connection.
I bought a linksys usb3 ethernet adapter and voila, everything works now. I still would recommend to stay away from beelink gt king if you need a working ethernet connection without any further purchase.
I know it is the beelink gt king causing the issue as there was a minix u9h connected where the gt king is now connected and there was never any connectivity issues before, so the cable is fine, the switch is fine and the same issue was detected (ethernet only working when wifi is enabled) when the gt king was connected directly to the router in another room. I would say that the quality matches the price, but the price is rather high and the quality is rather low and with added shipping and customs and the added cost of the usb ethernet adapter the price is actually really high. (more than the price of my nvidia shield, actually.)
youtube 4k videos work only with the youtube client through the appmarket, the regular youtube player from the playstore only offers 1080p as highest available resolution.
I had a strange HDR issue with one of the movies where the colors were washed out when hooked up to a Sony AF8 through a Denon x2500. The same movie plays with the right colors in Kodi when connected directly to a Dell U2718Q. |
