Cozyswan s400 with green sticker WIFI AP6210

[cadurling]

I've been trying to find a firmware for this stick "Cozyswan s400 with green sticker WIFI AP6210" and have yet to succeed finding a firmware where WIFI is working, except this one I got from the manufacture "ud_4.2_S400_lvbiao_101j20130603.zip"
found at this link "http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=696347&uk=3509931586"
The problem is running XBMC I get terrible playback with 1080p videos.
So my question is has anyone using this stick got a good experience running 1080p videos? And what firmware setup did you use? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If its anything like mine, there may be a reason the wifi is so bad. My device actually has two antennas for wifi! The external one you see outside the device but there is also a small patch style one inside the device! This patch has to be placed facing your wifi signal as its positioning can result in a major drop in signal if not facing the correct way. Its stupid to be honest why this was made to be so. I took the antenna problems with this to the extreme. 1. I replaced the external antenna with a TP Link TL-ANT2405C Omni-directional 2.4 Ghz aerial (£6) 2. Opened the device and went about customising that internal aerial. I first carefully removed it from the casing by using a flat screwdriver head. Then I got a piece of aluminium foil and lined it like a baking tray! Using a needle I poked the ventilation holes through the foil from the inside to the outside. Make sure no loose bits of tinfoil are hanging about as they could short components on the motherboard should they ever come into contact with it! Then carefully place the aerial on the side of the casing opposite to where the external aerial is (dunno if the external aerial causes interference with the other one but I thought better safe than sorry). Once it is stuck to the tinfoil. I covered the whole piece of tin foil in sticky tape to stop any components coming into contact with the foil. Again I then pierced the sticky tape with a needle to recreate the ventilation. So far this seems to have helped the wifi as I now get three bars signal in a room that is a floor above my router and blocked by three stone walls. I also put the magnetised end of the new external aerial onto a metal coatstand that has made one massive antenna! It works the treat! I watched Nurse Jackie on Netflix last night and it definitely looked like it was streaming in at least 720 HD. Good luck but be careful should you do modding like this as its so easy to snag a wire or damage the aerial and then your device is toast! Prob best to try the TP Link Aerial and move the device into a better position first!
