Hi everyone, I'm trying to connect my Android box (G Box MX2) to a Windows 10 PC using a D-Link switch. Internet speeds drop significantly when the Android box is connected—often from 30 Mbps down to just 5 Mbps. The manual says green means full speed (100 Mbps) and amber indicates lower speeds (around 10 Mbps). My Android box shows an amber light, while my router and PC have green lights. Is there a bottleneck on the Android side or is the switch struggling to handle both devices at full capacity? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is this gadget limited to a 10Mbps connection? Consider using another cable. Certain routers may encounter issues when paired with a slower device.
