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).

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?)

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, 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.
