Hi guys. I actually joined this site many years ago, but I got sidetracked with Android stuff. Anyway, I have a FireTV dongle which I use now, a ROKU that's been in the drawer for a good while now, and someone just gave me a Mag 324w2 that I haven't even plugged in yet. Which of these devices will give me the best performance? Also, bear in mind, that my internet speed rarely hits 20 mbps, more like 12 to 16 mbps. Is my internet speed, or the lack thereof I should say, a non starter?
Thank you. Any and all advice will be gratefully received.

you should be fine with internet speed. if fire stick is first generation then you will have more issues. mag would be better vs firestick. i never used or test roku so don't know much about it.
for mag and firestick see their threads and you will find bunch of useful info. :)

Mag 324w2 will connect to servers using Ministra TV platform version 5.2.0 or higher.
These Services only support Stalker devices up to version 5.0.

Your best bet of the 3 is the 1st gen FTV stick.

Thank you. My FTV isn't first gen, though. It's a little square dongle that is 4K capable.

If you are really into iptv, recommend Formuler Z8 Pro or Z Alpha. They have Iptv app called mytvonline2 that makes their device on top of the list. Your internet speed seems not bad for watching TV in HD quality as long as no fluctuation much.

I had an Ilink dreamlink 5 but was lost moving. I was not that impressed. What I would like is a reciever that I can run rocket and set up Kodi on easily while also easily protecting it with VPN. What IKS box should I be looking to buy?

BuzzTV box - XPL or XR or XRS models.
Dreamlink - T2 or T3
Formuler - Z8 or Z7+ or the newer models , alpha and pro
EZ Media Player
StreamPro G1
Global Media Box - this box is a little outdated for Kodi thou.
