    most reliable WiFi Hardware? and buying advice for a noob

    Hello,
    I am new to PC sticks. Before buying my 1st (and hopefully the only for quite some time),
    I would like to know which stick has the most reliable WiFi hardware. (In terms of % probability may be)
    I read about the quick fixes and mods, but some devices have the contacts shortened on the PCB itself.
    Thus no mod can save it. I'm not planning to use a usb/ethernet adapter as well.

    My current short list is: iMito MX1, UG802, MX808(B) [Budget approx $50-60]
    My usage is pretty basic: Youtube, Media Player, Basic browsing.

    I also hear that the Blue PCB - mx1 are a better breed which you get from Geekbuying.
    [edit]
    Oops. Geekbuying sells red pcb mx1 too?

    link 2

    Anyone second that?

    While i'm on the subject i'd like to take the liberty to ask another question.
    I plan to use the Bluetooth speakers for audio while watching movies.
    For the BT audio lag is there some player (app or stick) which can allow me to set the audio delay?
    I hope to cancel out the lag some how. Possible?
    Thank you for your time.
    Regards
    Rishi.

    G4 has a good WiFi reputation.

    What about G4 and uHost2?
    The Minix G4 seems to have a good WiFi reputation. Why is it not being talked about much?
    Any ROM support for the G4? Finless?

    Uhost has nice 2 usb and BT. What about it's wifi quality?

        there are android sticks with external screw-on antenna

        I don't remember name or brand - search aliexpress . Then you can screw on 9dbi antenna into the stick (if not satisfied).
