 The [[https://www.mi.com/global/mi-box-s|Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K]] is an inexpensive Android TV box. It's hardware is not as powerful as the [[android:km9|Mecool KM9 Pro Deluxe]] with a similar price tag, but what sets it apart is that the Mi Box S is a Netflix approved device, which allows to stream Netflix in full HD or 4K. This Box is excellent, runs fast and stable, and features a Bluetooth Voice enabled Remote. It cannot be controlled with an IR remote and it does not have an Ethernet port. Read [[#harmony_remote|Harmony Remote]] and [[#network_access|Network Access]] how to deal with these limitations.

-===== Network Access ===== 
-The Xiaomi Mi Box S does not have an Ethernet port, which I prefer to be able to access my internal LAN without exposure to WIFI. Android on the Mi Box S will recognize a USB to Ethernet converter, I use a USB hub with Ethernet from [[https://www.ugreen.com/collections/usb-hub|UGREEN]], USB 2.0 is sufficient. This not only adds the network port, but also 3 USB connectors so you don't need to unplug the adapter when plugging in a USB stick. Disable WIFI on the Mi Box S.
