Hello. I need some help with this.

For some unknown reason, my android box ethernet connection drops after e few minutes of using it. I already set a static IP on the device and my merlin Asus router, but this does not seem to help.
I wondered if there are any Tweaks and Hacks that I can do on the router to keep the connection alive?

Thank you very much.

I recently bought a cheapo T95-S1 AndroidTV box on Amazon and I nearly went mad trying to fix that exact issue but I never did solve it. BTW I also had Wifi go down every few minutes and NOT automatically reconnect. I finally gave up and bought a nicer more expensive box (Xiaomi Mi Box S) and have not had any issues. In my case I should of paid the extra $25 for the nicer box in the first place. It doesnt have an ethernet port but for $6 i got a usb ethernet adapter and plugged it into the usb port and it works great.

so, failing everything else, try a usb to ethernet adapter if you cant get it going. but make sure it has the right chip. not all ethernet adapters are supported by all Android devices.
 
A couple of things to try; or try them both

Under Developer mode ( search on how to unlock it for your device), set it to always stay awake. Barring that under Battery & power saving. Tap Battery usage, Ignore optimizations, Then select the app(s) to ignore battery optimizations for. There are apps on Google Play that say they can fix it but all they are doing is setting their app up to ignore the battery optimization, you just need to keep the app running all the time. I just set all apps to ignore the optimizations. Note: the device may run warmer and if on battery, consume the battery a lot quicker. I've done both, just to be sure...
