It runs 802.11ac WiFi with Dual Band 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies.

Summary
The Lenovo G66 is a good Android TV box that will have no problems streaming online content.

It will stream from most any online sources such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Kodi and play most video formats up-to HD 1080p.

The new 4K Ultra HD content may start to lose frames so it is best to stay with HD 720p or 1080p resolution.

It is a nice box, built beautifully and much better compared to the usual square shaped units.

I am still testing the box and will update if anything changes.

As always be sure to read the reviews on Amazon, forums, or elsewhere to be sure a unit is a good fit for you.
