I've been using this type of setup for years, but I opted for the USB 3.0 version hub instead. Also, I am able to connect my merged internal storage USB stick to an empty USB port on the hub to expand storage capacity which works wonders. Lastly, based on numerous tests I've ran, I've noticed that only SanDisks USB sticks were successful when expanding internal storage.
I'd love to see a speed test comparison, I heard the USB 2.0 bus on the inside was slower than the wifi chip. Just wondering. But I do think there should be more options. Thanks for the video
I did purchase this and the keyboard works flawlessly but u fortunately it did not speed up my MIBOX, it actually slowed down. So back to wireless which is not a big deal I needed keyboard much more.
Do all USB to ethernet multiport adapters work? What are some tips you can give on buying one that works on Xiaomi Mi Box S? Please also give some models.
LAN speed is slower I have the USB 3.0 great internet and still slower than the wifi signal on difference is ur signal won't drop on the lan line.. My set up is mi box - J5create 3.0 usb gigabit Ethernet 3-port hub. And over 150mbps
Hi, thanks for this video. I have the Ugreen USB & Ethernet Hub that works perfectly. But it has one problem. When Mi Box wakes up it does not connect to internet. I am made to turn off the Mi Box from socket and turn it on again. After that it works. To avoid turning off and on all the time I canceled the sleep mode for Mi box and it is on all the time 24/7. I wonder if it can cause malfunction of my Mi Box?
I connected the ugreen's adapter but I get a maximum speed test and 100 MB upload and download. As if there is some limitation of xiaomi itself. The adapter is 1 Giga. I have a 1 gigabyte internet and at the moment the box does not take advantage of it wirelessly only wirelessly so I get to the 250 mega area.
I have USB stick that powers the internet to my personal computer, Can i use this product to connect using Ethernet cable to my other PC and also power the internet? It's like sharing the internet.
i just bought the ugreen ethernet usb , at the manual it says that need the driver need to be install before using ,but when i plug the ugreen ethernet at my amazon fire tv cube , so far its working fine without install/download the driver i just plug and play , speed test run so far so good , usb port also so far also smooth.. so my question did i still need to install the driver at my amazon tv cube sir ?
This is my second Mi Box, the first one I had the "ethernet" option to set up, but this one does not. I can turn off WiFi, but there's no way to connect to the ethernet even though I have it plugged in as before.
Hi, the product isnt available, would you happen to know of a similar device that will work. I have several streaming devices including a mi box, and I would really like an Ethernet option so I can get rid of the lag and stuttering on my Chromecast devices, but I can't find an adapter with the usb hubs too with the Ethernet connection that says it would be compatible. I'm in the US any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Works perfectly with my Mi Box S but when i use it in my TCL S6500 android tv to increase internal storage after formatting USB as device storage the USB gets disconnected from device storage but keeps showing as internal storage, what can be the issue?
i tried to use usb port extender with 4 addtional ports. when i trye to use my keyboard and mouse just like your and a external har disk it dint work does this product did the same??
Hello Chigz, great work! I like to know if I can expand the memory of the Mi-Box by simply plugging a USB stick. Will this work (augmenting the limited 8GB internal storage)?
However, the USB port on the MI Box is USB 2.0. So if a USB drive is used as an extended internal storage.. It will not be fast and will not add up to the user experience.. Should be OK for streaming MM Content though
Would a straight U Green USB to ethernet adapter work plugged into a U Green USB 3 port USB/SD card hub then plugged into the MiBox? I required a TF card slot so got one of those hubs but would now like a wired network connection.
Im trying to put a USB splitter hub on my android box for game controllers but the one i bought wouldn't even work with a mouse How do a pick one to work for android n at least 4 controllers
It may be working when connected, but what happens when the Mi Box goes to sleep? I've heard these ugreen adapters based on the ASIX88772 chipset (or whatever it is) cannot wake up and we need to either reboot Mi Box or replug the adapter. Which is a deal breaker.
Yes it is, got my mibox with ugreen hub, and ethernet connexion stop working after wake from sleep, i have to reboot every time, so this hub is out for me.
The USB on the box is 2.0 so it can only move data at 2.0 speed. The other thing to consider is the LAN speed thru a Ethernet cable, the 3.0 can do 10/100/1000 and the 2.0 is 10/100 Mbps, which should be more than you need. Unless you have a box with a 3.0 port the 3.0 cable is just overkill on this box, IMO.
Hello Friend can you please tell me if it works with the H96 Pro TV Dongle i have bought two but they dont have ethernet port either, i would love to know if this adapter works with them that would save me a lot of mind peace. best regards
Can you get 1000m with this? Biggest issue I have with Amazon fire and others is the 100m limit and am looking for an adapter that will give me 1000m...
Sir i am trying to install from Mi box through Aptoid Tv but after download while installing it will ask for install through Aptoid allow/ cancel .. even after clicking Allow it doesn't get the work completed.. Any Solution sir ? I am using this version of Mi Box only..
This particular one is not available. Can you tell me what kind I need to get for the Mi box? There are too many out there. If you can't tell which one would you please give me the specs? I'm new to all this!!
Hey if i wish to connect 2 or 3 Hdd while using ethernet , can i ? or i will have to put some power supply. ? does it sleep very often ? as i read it somewhere ? if it does then it will not be convenient to put on off again and again...
Hey bro I bought mi box it's amazing I just have one question how did you connect keyboard mouse. I bought a ri+8 keyboard mouse and it does not connect or can't pair Bluetooth very annoying I have 2 mi box's that it can't pair 2
Some bluetooth keyboard are incompatible, so I steer clear of bluetooth keyboards. My one works with USB dongle and that keyboard works on every single TV box, inc PC Mac and even PS4.
Does the ugreen hub have a external power source if one want to add it? I assume if you are using all three USB ports at once and the ethernet, it will not have enough power?
This is the keyboard I use and it uses 2.4ghz Android Wireless Mini Keyboard: ➡️ Buy from Amazon US: amzn.to/2gELUmv ➡️ Buy from Amazon UK: amzn.to/2iAfMor
Thanks for the review! I'm looking at getting this same adapter but am wondering about the DC power supply port. Is there any scenario where I'd need to run extra power to this adapter? Is it needed to use the extra USB ports? I am using a keyboard and mouse combo atm with the only available usb....just wondering if I need to order both the adapter and the power supply
in my case the port is not working when i connect it to my MI BOX or my laptop - i think i have a defact product since i see that it can work without power supply.
Just about any works I bought undo mass USB/SD reader it works $8 on eBay I am looking for the OTG USB hub that works with firestick because it runs specified apk that are blocked that are on the USA version of the mi box
Greetings you! I was wondering how to I unformat my 8tb external Hardrive on my Android Tv Box, so I can use all my 8tb instead of the 1.3tb storage which it now only sees, after formatting. I formatted my Hardrive only for portable usage (not format for "this device only") thinking it would still allow me to use my entire 8tb storage, but come to find out after formatting, it doesn't. I would like to unformat my hard drive, and place storage access back to Internal Storage, so I can have the full use of the 8tb storage. If you could please get back to me with some info, If you happen to know, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly! (Note: I do not need to restore/recover files. Only to regain usage of my new 8tb storage external hard drive)

Nice! This convenced me to get me a mi box!
Awesome video, Please keep going, one day you make it big
Thanks for this...I had said this was the only thing the Mi Box was missing!
Yes i agree. This device is so useful.
Good presentation. Just needs speedtest to complete this presentation. Thanks
Thanks a lot for the review, it a pity that mibox doesn't have ethernet connection. I will buy this hub.
Thanks man I was thinking by myself that it would work or not ....
Only thing missing in this review is a speedtest.
Thanks for watching 😎👍

You could have done a speedtest comparison between Wifi and Ethernet ....now that wouldve been a review!
Wow, what an awesome little device. Love it.
speed test comparison?
Thanks friend, very helpful !
You could have tested the three usb ports if all works simultaneously. Would have been more useful review.
Very good exactly what I need, thanks
Question : Are you able to use one of the USB ports to extend internal storage and the other 2 as regular USB ports?
Yes you can.
Hi,
Can you use simultaneously the same time all the devices that is connected to this adapter?
@@ΣαπιοΜηλο yes
Very usefull information.. Thank you...

so my question did i still need to install the driver at my amazon tv cube sir ?
Why didn't you do a before and after speed test ?
Would you be able to add external storage with the extra usb ports?
i have the exact question, does anyone know the answer before i buy a hub?
Does 2nd gen mi box support this usb ethernet now?
How was the internet speed compared to the WIFI connection?
Do the usb ports on that work as well?
can I use this hub with my xiaomi mibox3 tv box and establish a wired (ethernet) connection instead of using wifi? plz let me know..
Does mi box's USB 2.0 support internet over USB tethering from an Android phone without using this connector?

Can i use a USB 3 adapter ?
U can, but still it will be limited as usb 2.0, because the mibox port is 2.0. Which is useless
Thank u
Will the ethernet automatically detected when the box goes sleep and turn back on again? Or should we unplug then plug it back? Thanks for the answer.

Yes it is, got my mibox with ugreen hub, and ethernet connexion stop working after wake from sleep, i have to reboot every time, so this hub is out for me.
Is there another hub/adapter that could do the same thing but not have to reboot when box goes to sleep?
OfficerBob I don't know.
Hello, 7 months do you know some hub that don't have that problem? Thank you
Should I get the old one or the USB 3.0 one?
USB 3.0 is better but little extra. I stuck with USB 2.0 as the mi box is only USB 2.0 and I bought it only for the mi box.
Have you tested a USB Drive with the HUB?
The USB on the box is 2.0 so it can only move data at 2.0 speed. The other thing to consider is the LAN speed thru a Ethernet cable, the 3.0 can do 10/100/1000 and the 2.0 is 10/100 Mbps, which should be more than you need.
