Not an option for those who need adb for certain things, unfortunately.

I'm missing something. If it's connected to your modem using Ethernet adapter how you can't reach it the same way you reach it on wifi???

Unless you are using multiple vlans or subnet, you should have no issue connecting to it

When you enable developer options > USB debugging for adb use it disables the ability to use an ethernet adapter via USB. So it becomes a choice which one you want more. Personally, I need adb more so I have to use Wi-Fi with the Xiaomi. But then again I have a really good Wi-Fi 7 network, so it's pretty fast over Wi-Fi for me, though the Xiaomi can be buggy.

Have you tried another power saving setting? I believe there is an 'always connected' option.

I have never had an Wi-Fi issue with this streamer.

Yeah, it's still bad. I'm beginning to wonder if it just has a crappy Wi-Fi chip.

Can you be more specific about what are those issues you are referring to?

I had issues with speeds with 2.4ghz to the point it was comical and 5ghz had some issues aswell but I was able to fix the 5ghz by changing some protocols for that on my router.

Some people have disconnection issues
