• I see people with this MAC issue often.
    The thing is that the service wants the MAC of the IPTV application that the device is using to connect to the service and not the actual device's MAC
    The IPTV application would be the DOL or MOL application and it's MAC will always starts with 00:1a:79
    If you noticed that the device's MAC and the IPTV MAC (DOL or MOL) have the same last 6 digits, but the first 6 are different. The first six is what tells the server to recognize the MAC. It will not recognize the device's MAC since it does not begin with 00:1a:79 ... nor does the device itself connect to the service, the DOL or MOL does.

Formuler boxes doing connectivity tests every minute

I'm getting an absurd amount of DNS queries from all of my Formuler boxes.

I have the Z Alpha, Z8, Z10 Pro, and Z10 Pro Max.

Every minute, they will hit msftncsi(dot)com... every single minute..

Why do these boxes do this? It seems excessive and unnecessary.

BTW, I don't have any third party app installed and I've already uninstalled everything that gave me an option to uninstall. So it's basically just the system and MTVO.

one possible cause is that the devices may be switching between 2.4 and 5 G wifi
Get into your router admin panel and change the name of the 5g connection. When the names are the same your device may switch between the two without your direction.
Telus routers (Aires) have a thing called SmartSterring, and that is precuisly what it does. Switches between the two wifi connections looking for the best connection.
Turn SmartSterring off or change the names of the two conections so they are not anywhere near the same names
