Just got a new Hellobox V5 Plus a week back. Not able to connect to Internet over Wi-Fi. While checking the status under Network, it says "Disconnected". Based on a YouTube video uploaded just recently, inserted a thick folded paper hard board in between the Wi-Fi dongle that came with the box and the HDMI cable. Worked for 2 days. From 18thFeb.2019 again the status indicated is the same old "Disconnected" msg. Is it a hardware problem or a software issue.Anybody got a permanent solution for this issue. Pls. help me.

Did you tried to put regular usb drive to ports? If the box recognize the regular usb stick in ports, then the problem is not in usb ports of box, it is not hw malfunction of box.
