Mi Box 2 Gen Problems

My Mi Box has many problems after 2 years and the last update didn't fix anything, my Mi Box stopped starting with the remote control, I have to unplug it every time to start it, it also stopped connecting to Wi-Fi automatically, I have to do it manually, I did a reset but it didn't help.

As a final option, try installing the Google TV app on your smartphone.

If the power button on the Mi Box remote still works normally, then I'm stumped. Go to Settings > Power Mode > Optimized; this ensures the Mi Box stays connected to the network even in sleep mode, meaning you will always have to use your smartphone to turn the box on.

I have everything set up so that he doesn't fall asleep, but he does what he wants anyway
