        and wifi if possible

        there are 2 extra files compare to 20140506

        in system -etc -wifi

        p2p_supplicant_overlay.conf
        This one says;
        disable_scan_offload=1

        wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf
        This one contains;
        disable_scan_offload=1 ( This should Stop Searching Wifi networks in Standby (correct me if Im wrong)


        p2p_disabled=1 (not sure about this one... is p2p means ethernet?)

        I guess these 2 .conf files sorted Stand by Led Blink

                  I'll change the values from 1 to 0

                  loaded the firmware up.. can confirm no more stupid blinking light. No mbox settings popup so far just need the ethernet/ wifi signal boosted and paid app installs working and that is it. I only get around 28mb/s with this firmware which seems the same as the EM8 and Acemax before this one. Bobs I was getting 60-90 mb/s with speedtest.net app.

                    20140506 Blinking with those 2 extra .conf files from new firmware...

                    With the new firmware Wifi Signal Level is very Low ,M8 has only 3 Bars Next to Wifi Router!

                      first Acemax fw gives me 4 bars 65 mbps link speed according to the settings .. their new fw gives me 5 bars 52mbps link speed so its 20% slower. My router is 1 floor down. My neighbors a a house away is showing up as 3/4 bars so I'm not sure why you only get 3 when its next to it.

                        I install the latest firmware to the one of the spare M8 boxes and Its a lot better actually full signal
                        don't know what to say now

                          i just noticed that if you turn the wifi on and off i get the same 65mbps speed as my other firmwares but it randomly dropped to 52 and back up to 58 after checking it a few times. It always gets the same speed as other fw if I turn the wifi on and off. Test that and see if you get the same results.

                          edit: just checked it again and it dropped to 13mbps lol turned wifi off and on.. back to 65 but there is def something wrong here.. it isnt a stable connection

                          edit: ran the 5ghz patch from bob and tested again. According to mbox settings(with color buttons on top) 5ghz band is showing 2/4 bars but in the android looking setttings page it says 3/4. I run same test on 5ghz and i get 18mbps consistently whereas 2.4 band gives me 8-10 with 4/4 bars . The 5g patch may have resolved this wifi issue im not positive though. I doubt it has any affect on the 2.4 band unless im mistaken

                            Hey guys, I unzipped the stock firmware from may 12th, to edit the config file for the 5ghz wifi fix. But when I re zip the firmware. I get a footer error when I try to flash it, how do I fix this.
