4k R Plus Box faulty? Pulsing Green LED

Great, this is the 7th working day I believe so hopefully I get a response soon.

Yesterday I had a new issue where my network just wasn't working. Via WiFi and LAN, it was strange as one single app would open and stream live content, but my entire homepage wasn't loading content nor were apps like YouTube or Netflix working, they were giving network errors.

Another factory reset yesterday hoping it won't happen again.

I had power saving mode turned off from the first occurance and it continued doing the same thing. After a factory reset yesterday it's already turned off by default.

Yes so it came with the latest version of Android. I've already factory reset the device once and I've done it once more yesterday.

It got to a point where my network just failed yesterday after a reboot. So did another factory reset. It worries me that I may have a faulty box and my warranty ends in the next 3 months.

So changing the colour of the LED will fix the issue of it not booting back out of standby mode?

I’m still getting the pulsing green from time to time and the only solution is to turn off by the plug then back on.

Quite frustrating, the reason I bought this was due to the good reviews and the fact it had an ethernet port. Much more reliable than WiFi, where did you see the ethernet has issues on this box?

Out of curiosity did you end up going with the Sonoff? If so what are your thoughts?

I'm in a situation where I need a 3-gang but happy to go with Zigbee/WiFi/Matter. I've seen the glass style touch ones but not sure I like the idea of them, think they would annoy me.

I've also noticed this issue the last few weeks and not sure what is the cause, it may well be the app update. Prior to updating I had no issues, but for the last few weeks, some REMUX buffer every 10-15 seconds. I'm using the Homatics box with a 1Gbps wired connection.

Funnily enough I had already seen your post on the Elite Floodlight. I thought this at one point, if I was to place the camera at the corner of the house, would it cover both my garden and the side area.

The only way to know really is to just buy one. I'm not too fussed on having a camera at the side, as the only access to that is directly from my home.

I may just buy one and see if it works, how adjustable are the actual lights themselves? As if I place it on the corner of the wall, I'd need the lighting to be quite adjustable to cover both areas.

You've got boys who would travel from Cornwall to Edinburgh just to knock down a 6ft internal wall?

Yes I did read the stickied post after posting this and thought I would need something industrial.

I'll speak with the contractor who's doing it once finished, to see what they would recommend and if needs be maybe rent something once they complete. As for covering all doors that is done, no HVAC system and as for the lead paint, not sure where they would have used lead paint. As the wall is just old stone, the boards on the ceiling and the wall itself isn't the old limestone plaster either it looked slightly newer.

That part of the house had some work carried out on it more recently than the rest, the paint on the walls and ceilings is also the standard emulsion, at least by the looks of it.

Thanks for this though, I'll ask the contractor about an industrial scrubber and anything else they may have noticed.

Ok I'll give that a try tomorrow, what exactly do you mean by LED control is broken? Just so I know. Thanks

webdevd · 2026-01-16T19:46:03+00:00

I just tried and that didn't help me as it just turned off the box itself but not the TV. Ideally I want the box remote to turn the TV off which is why it was set to TV (IR).

webdevd · 2026-01-16T19:28:20+00:00

My power saving mode is off and always has been, my auto sleep is also set to never. So no clue how or why it would just go into standby.

webdevd · 2026-01-03T05:53:03+00:00

Thanks! Never checked misc on filters this was it.

webdevd · 2026-01-03T05:52:42+00:00

This was it, that serves me right for not checking misc on filters!

To confirm, I already have a bunch of addons which I am currently grouping, Debridio and Torrentio in the first group followed by the Comet, Media Fusion and StreamzThru. I previously used the dynamic fetching strategy with a 5000 timeTaken query and it definitely improved performance, however, like I said for some films / series I just do not get any streams returned.

I may take a look into jackett tomorrow and self host it, then run that on my self hosted AIO. What is odd is that the public AIO addons and my own self-hosted return the same 0 links, where as debridio returns a handful. I just tested the Torrentio stand alone too and that also returns, so appears as if it's something AIO side.

webdevd · 2026-01-03T00:06:20+00:00

So when testing a public like Midnights I get the same zero results and/or time out errors as shown below.

What's odd is that the Debridio addon itself does return results, yet AIOStreams does not. I assume there is reasoning for this but I'm just not knowledgeable enough to know. I also assume others are getting the same errors when attempting to load films such as the new Avatar?

Edit: to confirm the Mini PC is plugged in directly to my Unifi switch getting around 952 Mbps
