I moved this to the Android TV forum for more specific traffic.

Are you sure the "Broadcast SSID" function is enabled in the router? If it's not, there's nothing for it to find (although the default connection may be set for your router's SSID, if it loses it for a fraction of a second, it can't find it again).

My others phone are able to search and connect to my home router as well as my laptop, only mi box s is not ale to find it

The Mi box isn't a phone. So I ask again, are you sure the "Broadcast SSID" function is enabled in the router? (And are you using a VPN if you aren't using a paid IPTV service?)

 

[Mahmood Khan4]

Yes SSID broadcast is enabled.
No I am not using VPN

I even tried changing SSID and shortening the SSID but still it doesn’t show up in the WiFi connections on Mibox.

Have you already tried rebooting your router? See this guide for other ideas: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...roubleshooting-wi-fi-connection-problems.html

Sometimes a router can have a flaw in its firmware that causes problems for only certain devices. You ultimately might have to consider getting a new router.

I have rebooted router multiple times, but still not able to connect

Check the router manufacturer's website to see if there are any firmware updates available. Otherwise, you may just have to look into buying a new router.

Hi everyone, did you manage to solve the problem I think I'm facing the same issue worst part is I have 2 mi boxes one connects but I can't find my router on the other one

Hi, for everyone having the same problem as author. I'm suggesting to check your wifi router settings and set the channel manually. I do reboot/reset and many other ways but still ain't able to see my router wifi connection, but after i set the channel manually (i changed to 1) suddenly the wifi appear on my mi box.
