The year is 2014.
Fiber Optic Internet in the 1000 mbps range is a reality.
Yet so many Android boxes choose to limit their WIFI to speeds below 100 mpbs.
I just purchased a top-of-the-line and ridiculously expensive Minix X8-H because of its massive and ugly WIFI Antenna and "Dual-Band" support since my router is in a different room and Ethernet is not an option.
So imagine my supreme disappointment when I realized that Minix has actually made the conscious decision to limit the WIFI on their brand new and most expensive unit to just 72 mbps by using a Broadcom AP6330 chipset. My jaw hit the floor in utter disbelief and I lost some teeth in the process.
I don't want to reward cheap companies, so I'm going to return this joke.
Therefore, I need an Android Box that understands it's the year 2014 and can handle Wifi at speeds of 150 - 300 mbps so that those of us with Fiber Optic internet can actually take advantage of what we are already paying for.
Besides 2014-fast Wifi, I need a good-quality, solid Android unit that is a stand-alone box with SPDIF Optical Output, Quad-Core CPU, and at least 2 GB of RAM, preferably with at least 16 GB of internet storage (although 8 GB is acceptable).
Does such a box exist or are all these companies stuck in 2009?
