The x9 won't allow me to connect to a VPN unless the device is connected via WiFi. there are other programs that won't connect unless I'm connected to WiFi. Is there a way to fix this? I'm connected to the internet through the ethernet cable directedly connected to my router. This gives me a faster and more stable connection.
I am not a network guru but my thoughts would be have you configured a wifi only port through your router for your laptop to connect that way previously and that is the reason so you would need to add the lan port for that operation ? Just a thought since nobody else replied.
The Zidoo X9 firmware is build on phone android, that why some apk and network stuff are lock. My first zidoo have wifi broke and no Google Play. Ehternet on that machine is last network.
