It’s a weird one — IPTV works perfectly on Wi-Fi, but as soon as you plug in Ethernet, nothing loads.

This problem comes down to network configuration conflicts — easy to fix once you know where to look.

1. Reboot Router and Device

A fresh start clears cached IPs.

• Turn off both router and streaming device for 60 seconds.

• Turn on router first, then the device.

2. Check Network Priority

Some Android boxes prioritise Wi-Fi even when Ethernet is plugged in.

• Go to Network Settings → Priority or Active Adapter

• Manually select Ethernet

3. Reset IP and DNS

Assign a static IP manually and use custom DNS (Google or Cloudflare).

This prevents mismatches between Wi-Fi and Ethernet routes.

4. MAC Binding Conflicts

If your provider uses MAC authentication, switching from Wi-Fi to Ethernet changes your MAC address — causing access failure.

Contact support to register your new MAC or clone your old one if your device allows it.

5. Final Thoughts

Wi-Fi vs Ethernet conflicts are simple once identified.

Always ensure you’re on one active network at a time, clear old IP leases, and recheck DNS — it’s the fastest way to restore stability.
