Hello, For starters, the description says it is the old hardware version, but it does not (or not yet anyway), the one I got is the new version with WiFi chip AP6210 . And it is not worse. Not against, I bought a version and repackaged Amazon sent me a product that has not really been tested. Indeed if the machine turns on and connects the wifi, the quality of it is so bad that one can not do anything, even download the app less is almost impossible ... This must have caused the return by the previous guest. I found on the manufacturer's website, amounting diagram how the internal antenna must be mounted and that of mine was installed backwards. But even taking off her and by gluing the other side of the case as recommended, the quality is not great. I still manage to load apps, but the quality of wifi is too random and varies too quickly to use you tube for example. Other websites advise downright out the antenna housing (but it looks fragile) and another to mount an external antenna by welding a pigtail cable. I may try that. Regarding Linux, it is now possible to make it work on SD card without having to flash the ROM, which is easier and less dangerous. But hey, it's not there yet. The operation of the sound is random (once it works once it does not work), Bluetooth is not recognized and the video performance is very bad. Brief to a server, or NAS perhaps, but to replace my PC, not yet. Too bad it does not miss much. Finally, both KVM wireless sets I tried worked, but it is better to use a USB extension to connect the dongle key. By plugging directly, be it on the micro USB port or the USB MK802, operation is bad enough (bounce, slow mouse). this may be related to interference with wifi (antenna too close) or parasite radiation MK802 itself. Good luck and good hack at all.
Hello Again. I added one more star. Since I flashed the latest version of Android 4.2 firmware offered on the manufacturer's website (a 4.4 Kitkat is also available, but hey, it is new and I prefer to wait a little). With that, the more discount at the location of the antenna, the wireless performance is better. Still not great, and quite variable over time, but no longer falling at very low flow rates (in all, for 35 euros (re packaged product), it is not such a bad deal, but it took quite d efforts to arrive at something usable.
Re Re hello, additional accuracy. On after AnTuTu benchmark, the maximum frequency of the processors of the machine that was delivered to me is only 1.4GHz and 1.6 GHz not.
Another update. I finally installed an external wireless antenna, and there is no problem. (I désoudé the internal antenna, welded in place a cable 'pig tail', screwed on the carrier a small square I glued on top of limping. A récurépérée WIFI antenna on a very old box completely the rest). Well the result is not very attractive, but it is very effective, and then the camera is hidden behind the TV).
