I have recently bought an iMX6 which appeared to work fine for a week or so. Now whenever the box is switched on it kills my network both for the box itself and anything else I have connected. I found after further investigation it is the HDMI connection that is bringing the network down. So far I have tried numerous different cables and tried plugging the box into different TVs and amps without success. I have even plugged in another router and still the problem remains. Anyone got any suggestions?
Droidbox iMX6 HDMI kills network

I'm assuming this is when you use a wired connection (Ethernet) with your iMX6?
If it is via WiFi, can you let us know the make/model of both modem/routers please?
In terms of discovering it is the HDMI connection that kills the network, would I be right in assuming that if you temporarily use the AV/RCA/Phono/SCART video output between your iMX6 and a TV/AV Amp, the network is fine?
Thanks for posting a lot of relevant info btw, it really helps

Hi, thanks for the prompt response. I have done some further investigation. I connected the iMX6 to a TV via the AV socket (instead of the HDMI), and still no Network. Even more bizarre was that in the Android settings on the iMX6 I disabled both Ethernet and WiFi and still no Network. It appears that whenever the box is on and connected to anything the whole network dies (the TV is connected to the amp via HDMI which in turn is Ethernet connected). Do you think the box itself might be at fault?
