Hello.
I want to buy a Mag box and can´t decide which one.
It seems like everybody on this forum has the 254 version althouth 256 is the newer one (correct me if I´m wrong about that)

Is it worth buyin the 256 version or should I go with the old one? The price difference is 20€

Was facing the same question a couple of weeks back. From my research, both work just fine, the 256 simply is a bit faster. But the 256 does not have any extra features you would be missing with the 254. Have a look at MAG 254 vs 256

I Will buy mag 254 soon, should i buy the box with wifi or is that just a waste of money? The wifi box is about 20 euro higher in prize.

Buy MAG 256. It's very fast respect 254. And the price is almost same.

You dont need to WiFi, because IPTV is working good with Cable Internet (LAN)

Ok so you think its better to buy 256 than 254, is 256 easy to set up?
256 cost 30 euro more than 254, i Will order tomorrow i think.

So 256 is faster than 254, is it worth 30 euro?

Question regarding movin favorite channels on mag 256. Ive selected my favorite channels and narrowed it down to 2 pages. Now when i want to move the channels, they move once i press the blue "move" button, and release the channel where i want it to be. Then, when i move back/forward on the pages i see that the channel did not remain where i put it. It went back to original position.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Have fimrware 7.10

Well since we are in the MAG topic i have been trying to troubleshoot this WiFi problem i am having with now 2 MAG254. so far i have tried multiple WiFi adapters and tried all configurations with encryption and without encryption. The device works without a problem when is on my desk next to my NetGear Nighthawk router but the moment i move it away from the desk and in the other side of the living room aprox 4 meters away the boxes start acting up and lock freeze and sometimes dont load at all. anyone ever experienced any problems like this?

Your device seems to be away from the router. Similarly, WiFi waves can pass through walls and depending on their type, this causes a weakening of WiFi waves which results in a low power. I advise you to place the device near the exit door of the room.

Has nothing to do with it the devices are in the same room without any obstruction or anything 3-4 meters away . Network wise has nothing to do with the problem. MAG is in the same table as my Windows Media Center that runs in wifi as well. The only way i can think is the way MAG handles WiFi. and Wifi adaptors compatible with it. so far i have used ANEWISH Wireless WiFi USB Dongle Stick Aura HD, ANEWISH Wireless WiFi USB Dongle Stick Adapter with Antenna 150Mbps 802.11n/g/b and ANEWISH Mini Wireless RT5370 USB Wifi Dongle Stick Nano Network Adapter 150Mbps and all of them experience the same problem. I wil try to use a non MIMO router and see if that might fix the problem. wanted to see if anyone had problemes like this and how they fixed them or what kind of wifi dongle would not couse that problem

I have the same... the box is through another IPTV provider and he must have modified the software... I cannot reset and via USB give me wrong signature. also via automatic update in inner portal I get wrong signature...

Is there any way to remove the modified firmware and go back the the original Infomir firmware?
