The Mag boxes are slower to boot up than most AVOV boxes although I wouldn't recommend AVOV boxes due to the lack of support, Mickeyhop places heavy restrictions on what apps you can load but it has TVonline which is another version of Stalker middleware. Since the Mag boxes only have 2.4 ghz wifi, I can see why the wifi might be slow although the 2.4ghz bandwidth is heavily used and subject to interference from everything from phones to microwave and wireless devices using that band. The newer models of android boxes that I have listed are too new and have too much ram to be slower but they also have 2.4 / 5ghz ac which provides faster wifi which is also dependent on the internet service / speed as well as location or distance from the servers. Simply put, its highly unlikely that any of the models I listed would be slower than the Mag but this I leave to those who think it is only faster on paper.
