So this was not my idea as I read it here in posts from other users. So props to them for coming up with this "quick fix".
My MK808 was fine when it was new. But recently it started having SERIOUS wifi issues!
It would either not see my router, when it did it had a hard time getting an IP address or many times would fail to authenticate WPA2. Then when I would get lucky enough to connect to the router. The data rate would be so bad Google Play would not even load.
So I decided to try this quick mod as I did not have the parts or time to make new antennas. The what I call "quick fix" is to dissconnect the shield ground of the antenna wires to the circuit board. HOLY COW! It worked like a charm! My wifi now works better than ANY of the other TV sticks I have!
What is happening is the manufacturer is shorting the sheild ground to the internal antenna wire when they solder the wire to the board. The heat from soldering the ground shield is melting the internal insulation and shorting the wire.
So I decided to make a little video to explain what this is all about.
Enjoy!
